Bury Me Here


Just recently, my wife's grandfather passed away. During our time with her family the discussion came up regarding burial plots. The funeral home was offering her family burial plots at a discounted price at the cemetery. And I was faced with the question, "Where do you want to be buried?"

I had never been asked this question before. So I thought about it, and I'm still not sure.

The idea of having my ashes scattered in Scotland alongside some of my ancestors is certainly the more romanticized version. Then there is the more practical way of looking at it. Pick a place where my family can visit if they so choose.

I feel that even though I won't be around to care where my body is laid to rest, I still would like for it to be some place of significance. Then again I will never know.

Where do you want to be buried?
