Momâs parents have vertical headstones. The cemetery is well maintained. They were some of the last buried there before it was full. I have visited twice since 1992. The new cemetery a family friend was among the first buried there. Dadâs parent are in a cemetery where all head stones are flat and they mow over. Weâve been just to clear stray grass and mud/dirt but it is nice. Oogieâs grandparents are a half hour away. Weâve been there. Many of those headstones are grown over. We take clippers and clear the grass. It is obvious it is an older section. Oogieâs mom no longer has flowers left in the atrached/reversible vase.
I want to be cremated, then out to the Veterans National Cemetery. My ashes go into an above ground columbarium wall. My Dad was buried in a grave out there in May of 2018. I may have mentioned this before. but a spouse can be buried on top of their husband/wife. When my Mom passes, she will be buried on top of my Dad. They dig the first gave extra deep. The headstone is designed to have a couples names on it. I think itâs kind of weird, but effective. Nice they can be in the same location.
My former brother-in-law bought side-by-side gravesites for my sister and him in a small, pretty country graveyard. She got sick and died when she was only 50. Four years later my brother died. My former brother-in-law gave his gravesite to us, so my brother could be buried next to his sister.
my moms are in a marble container on my brothers buffet⌠( they live in my moms old house) I bought a plot to bury the ashes 5 years ago. they donât want to. gives them comfort having the ashes there, not going to bring comfort to anyone in the cemetery. soâŚokay by me!!
Hearst Castle.
An amazing place still in perfect condition & original contents.
Doors, ceilings, art, books, other stuff brought in from Europe circa 1500-1800.
Much cooler than I expected.
