Thought I’d start my run as BOTW with a thought provoking and maybe morbid question. So, have you and FH discussed the “what if” of death? My parents recently purchased their plot….they only got one to save money. They will be buried on top of each other. My father said that if my mother goes first, he wants to be buried face down so they’ll be eternally in the missionary.
FH and I have discussed this. I had considered cremation until FH told me he wants to be buried. Mentioned the one plot idea and he liked it. You save money and you get to be together forever. First person is “planted” (as my father likes to say) 6 feet down, 2nd person is planted 4 foot down. He wants to be buried in Calverton so we’ll see what they allow.
I figure, if FH goes first and I decide to remarry, I’ll be buried on top of FH and husband #2 can be buried 4 feet down next to me so I’ll be eternally in a 3-way. You gotta think ahead!

Re: QOTD 9/29
I didn't think about it until RIGHT. THIS. SECOND. Thanks!
I want to be buried... I think FH wants to be cremated. I'm pretty sure (although, you never know) that I won't get remarried... My intention is that this is a one time deal.

Re: QOTD 9/29
Death is the inevitable and honestly don't remember how our preferences came about. I'm a planner, I can't help it, probably why I already have it figured out. Plus, I want to make sure that if anything were to happen I'd follow his wishes.

Re: QOTD 9/29
well now that i think of it, i believe our religion is against cremation so we will have to be buried.

Sorry if this question is freaking anyone out. You didn't think I was going to throw out standard questions, did you? (evil laugh here)

Re: QOTD 9/29
to your answer Amanda, gotta love it, forever in missionary position or can have a 3-way
I will probably be cremated, my father was cremated and we took his ashes and spread them all over Daytona florida to the various places he would go to for Bike Week (he was a biker) and my mom wants to be cremated.
I haven't discussed with fh yet,but i think i'd want to be cremated, I'd rather not be buried, the thought being underground and surrounded by bugs creeps me out

Amanda you are too funny!
We haven't really discussed that but we have said after we get married we need to make up wills and get life insurance policies to protect one another.

Re: QOTD 9/29
We really haven't discussed it yet... although from past conversations it seems we are both fans of cremation.
Most likely we will both be cremated and have our ashes scattered in the same spot.

Yes!!! It's such a good idea. We're getting right on the wills and insurance policies immediately after the wedding. If something happens to him I'll be completely out of my mind, but I'd be compltely fcuked financially and vice versa. Our lifestyle depends on 2 incomes, which is definitely scary in these times. We're going to do Metlife or something to be sure that we are covered for the what ifs of life.

I love it...I want that too 3-way. FH wants to be buried with his parents. I will be cremated.

Re: QOTD 9/29
Amanda, I am cracking up right now!
I hate thinking about death but we have talked about it. I want to be put in a mausoleum (I know a diva even after i'm gone ). Although I respect everyone elses wishes, I personally could never imagine cremating someone. We watched my great grandmother's creamating last year and it mentally scarred me. When my other great grandmother died, we buried her but it had been raining for like 3 days before she died and there was sooo much mud down in the hole. I freaked out at the burial over putting her white casket in all that mud. I really don't handle death well at all. I will just put FH in a mausoleum and I want one right next to him and my parents. I know they are expensive but i'm donating my organs and I just feel that it is my last wish.
