My dang parents still have not done that.
My moms parents rest their souls (Grandpa Thanksgiving day 2009 and Grandma Feb. 3,2011) had theirs planned since the 1970s, at least their wills and grave plots. Since grandpa died first he was buried on the bottom then when grandma passed away she was buried on top of him. And they bought their plot when the cemetery was fairly new so theirs are in the front of the cemetery by the masaleum (spelling?) and the statue of an angel on top of that building looking down. And since its mostly a catholic cemetery a lot of their good church friends are buried around them, and oddly my dads grandma is buried close to them too (she was also a devout Catholic). Very close. That wasn't planned at all since of course neither family knew each other until my mom and dad started dating in the mid 80s long after they had bought their plots.
Thats Holy Cross. I have family buried in 2 others here too, the 2 largest ones,which are right across from each other but they have different names.
My grandmas twin sister (Fraternal) was buried in their childhood hometown but she was cremated, buried her ashes next to their mom in a special case.
Morbid thoughts to be blabbering about but its life sadly.
