Re: Next Question
I'm going to be buried on top of my husband at the churchyard where we lived before moving to the town. They asked me specially when digging his grave if I wanted them to dig it deep enough for two, so of course I said yes. I expect my children will have a service there before the burial. Though they are not church goers.My parents are also buried there as is my little daughter who died at 7 months.

Sorry, couldn't resist
Oh dear. You are quite right Pesta. (I should have said Dead Right
). That's the second heading I've messed up in the last few days.
Of course I meant 'NEXT QUESTION', and hadn't even noticed I messed up.

We're all old Mupsy.... so all probably read it as 'Next'. Don't they say our brains see what it want us to see? (or something like that)
Failing that....
I'm just younger

(Usually pre-arranged as the depth has to be over 6 foot).
In other instances, the grave is opened and an urn of ashes is popped in.
I'm quite fortunate .. I've had my instructions from Mr M. After cremation I shall have a week in Margate, take a boat trip along the coast and throw him into the sea.
My Mum and Dad are buried in a double plot Mort. However, I'm fairly sure they are next to each other, not on top of each other, as the plot is double width and I had the headstone moved centrally.
The reason I asked the question in the first place, is I used to live in the village where Mum and Dad were, but moved away. It is a nice little cemetary there, surrounded by farmland where I used to keep my pony once, and walk my dogs.
I have been thinking that I might like to go back there when I pop off, but didn't know if I could seeing as I no longer live in the village.
Also, would I be allowed to have a humanist service in a church cemetary I wonder?
Any retired Vicars on this forum?

Thanks very much Meg.
Why doesn't it let us edit the thread titles ourselves?
