Re: Morbid question alert

Not sure what happens over here (I'm from Australia)but when my Mum passed away in Aust,we had to show proof of the designated plot within the cremo grounds.Mum had "brought"it so she could be laid to rest next to my Dad.It was within a rose garden,and yes they have plaques too.

Re: Morbid question alert

Yes I agree.How is it possible to have paid for a funeral and not specified where you are going to be laid to rest?I think paupers graves are for those who have no funds at all for a cremation or buriel.My Gran had one (She was estranged from her family).She was cremated and ashes buried in a commun...
