Sounds really nice. I suggest that you have what you want written and placed with your will so your family knows exactly what you want.

We own an old small cemetery on one of our farms. It's very pretty with wild orange lilies all over it in the summer. My FIL had mentioned to us several times that he wanted to be buried there........I heard him.....and Glen heard him.......but he failed to let the rest of the family know so he's at another cemetery.

We used to have a friend that worked in a funeral home and we asked him questions. In Kansas, at that time, you didn't have to be embalmed or buried in a casket but you DID have to be buried within 24 hours of dying. You probably wouldn't even have to be buried in a special cemetery if you checked into what your funeral home or you can actually do.

Funeral homes are a rip-off!!! They play on your......."this is the last thing I will ever do for this family member". They have certain terminology that they use to hit your heart strings.......they did that when my Dad passed away. We bought a "package" deal but that DIDN'T include the little paper handouts that you recieve at funerals!!! That was an EXTRA fee!!! I couldn't believe that one......so I ended up printing my own........I've never seen or heard of ANYONE ever doing that!!! A friend of mine had a funeral for her grandmother and it was a graveside like Dad's was and they paid half of what we paid!!! I will NEVER use that funeral home again!!! It still makes my blood boil!!!!

I do like the concept of this cemetery and I think that you'd be wise to check into it!!
