Burial, past or present?

[Janet]

Okay let me see if I can ask this in a way that doesn't sound strange. One year ago we lost my father-in-law. He was married first to my husbands mother, who was tragically killed in a car/train accident when he was about 9 or 10. His Dad remarried a few years later to a lady with two children and then they had one together.

He had a burial plot next to his first wife, but when he passed, a new plot was purchased for him and for when my hubby's step-mother passes so they can be buried together.

I just feel (and my hubby too) so sad that his mother is buried alone. So I guess the question is, how would you all have handled it. We kind of feel if he wanted buried somewhere else, he would have pre-bought their places, like he did with his first wife. His first wife was the love of his life and he was so totally devastated when she passed. If it wasn't for him having 3 children, they don't think he would have made it through the pain. No one is upset about how things were done, this is just thoughts my husband and I discussed. Sooo...what d'ya think?
