Yesterday, my twin (hey Twin!) posted a blog about graveyard visits, which prompted me to pose this question to you. (Check the poll & feel free to comment as you would like.)

Me, myself personally & the rest of my immediate family*, will be laid to rest at Laurel Hills - the resting place of my mother, my sister, my play aunt, my BFF's step-dad (was like an uncle to me) and my ex uncle-in-law (who at my cousins' request, happens to be just a few plots from my mom & sister).  I guess this is now our official place.

*My uncle is a vet and Uncle Sam has a place waiting for him, but he has instructed me to have him cremated.  Afterwards, he wants his ashes tossed into a flowing body of water.  I told him once I got the insurance check, I'm booking a Caribbean or Alaskan cruise and will carry out his final wish.  Who I am to deny him? :o)
