Yes when my wife died I bought a site for both of us, with headstone, so I would not burden anyone plus i got to decide the location. kind of creepy?

I like the idea of my ashes being scattered, either in the sea or in the forest. But I'm not sure of what I'll decide to do. Hopefully I decide before the decision needs to be made for me, although I guess if that happens, I won't care any longer.

No. They could bury me under the apple tree or throw me to the buzzards for all I care. The only location I care about is where I'll spend eternity.

We have a family plot in New York, where my mother and grandmother are buried.

After I'm gone it really doesn't matter.  Family will have a decision to make

This is something my wife and I have put off. BUT I was just thinking of it. As far as cremation, I don't know

I'm planning on a stairway to heaven (or maybe an escalator).

yes, yes, & yes.

I don't think a cemetary plot is a real estate investment.

Another 'sunny' comment from Don Davies below. As a side line this guys a motivational speaker also.

I have a few spots picked out on the farm.

My will directs cremation.

Cremation is the plan and the location of where my ashes are to be taken also indicated. The service of cremation is paid in full including 5 certified copies of death certificate. 

Leaning towards cremation, but not sure yet!

My husband and I both are to be cremated - never did see the point of taking up RE space when no one visits anyway

Cremation is the plan and in the will

I plan on cremation and being used as fertilizer.

No; I plan to sink along with my sailboat

I have not.

Happy Monday...what a start to a week...ugh!

Cremation. Ashes placed in a Sea salt urn that will be tossed into the ocean at my favorite beach where it will dissolve and I will become fish food.

When my father died, my mother bought a double plot. A little morbid, perhaps, but choosing a cemetery plot at the time of a terrible loss is extremely difficult. We plan to pre-purchase ours to save our children from that decision.

We've talked about it but, not done anything about it yet. I think we'll likely do what Dennis Swartz did - we'll buy two together when we first have to face this.

Actually we are in good shape for generations to come.  My father-in-law owned the farm ground around the town cemetery and they wanted to expand so he sold them three acres and kept an acre for his family with the cemetery maintaining the family acre of plots in perpetuity.  So my wife now owns a 1/4 acre of cemetery plots so we are good to go!!!  By the way, I have had three calls soliciting the sale of cemetery plots and have I ever had fun explaining why their services were not needed.

Ironically, I will be cremated and have my remains spread in the incredibly beautiful Straits of Mackinac.

at some point I will buy my grave site plot...the kids can deal with the rest of it....

Not yet, but know I should have these plans made.

To soon for that, but now you have me wondering, anything can happen to me today.

My preference: Burn, Becca, burn! with ashes scattered in several favorite places. Ultimately it will be up to those left behind to do with me as they will, but since hubby wants the same thing we're definitely not pre-buying plots. 

Most of hubby's family are buryers, and his parents pre-purchased both their plots along with some associated services. When hubby's Mom passed away recently that definitely made things much easier on Dad and the rest of the family to have those (and many other) details already decided. 

I'm giving my bride a vacation when I graduate to paradise. I'm being sprinkled in Italy, Ireland or Maui; her choice.

John Bear - as per Hindu rituals, it is cremation for me.

Very personal but I can assure you that all preparations have been made and my family is informed. 

That is one subject I detest to make a decision on.

I have bought sites for myself and my wife and some of the family.

It's the smart and kind thing to do to plan ahead. We have it all spelled out in a trust. I don't want my loved ones to have to deal with all that stuff and not know what we would want.

Not on my horizon.

No.  At this point I really don't have any care what happens to me, just what happens to my assets should I die w/o an heir.

No. I'm always running across deals on gravesites, from Free to $1000.00 or less. Some people have them and have since decided to be cremated, or they moved to another area, or they have gotten divorced so their burial location plans have changed, etc. I have my aunts ashes sitting on a shelf in our basement. One day I'll look for a place to bury them. Another thing to consider is, if you end up in assisted living/nursing home with state taking care of you, you can't own anything and will have to sell any gravesites that you own.

 Owning a cemetery could be a good investement, but indiviual gravesites probably not.

My husband has been cremated and I am holding his ashes.   I am in the process of getting a double headstone designed, with both our names and it will be placed in the local cemetery soon.   

I have not planned or thought about it. -Kasey

For us it will be cremation. 

To be at rest now is to be at rest later and beyond. Rest in peace is upon us all

Happy Monday to you too!  We are in the ashes to ashes category, no real estate necessary.  A

something to consider

      My family has a section at Roselawn Cemetery in Tallahassee; we still have a dozen vacant plots there.   We also have several plots at Manasota Memorial Gardens in Sarasota/Bradenton.   

   We have two historic cemeteries in Gadsden County (west of Tallahassee), where our ancestors from the 1800's are buried.   The last time we enquired, the funeral director told us we need special permits from the State of Florida for any more burials there.

No comment.

We have purchased our plots in the same cemetery as Geno's parents here in Austin. Will be cremated but now many laws and sanctions on squattering ashes where ever you want so will go in the grave site.

I have not, but my parents have and at the time was very morbid when they asked me to go and help pick out a spot. 

Pennsylvania RELRA does consider grave sites an interest in Real Estate therefore a license is required to sell cemetary lots, plots ans mausoluem spaces & openings including crematory depositories.
