That’s very nice. I don’t know much about stone work, so I guess I find that form of artwork amazing.

I hope it's a long time before you use it but wow, that's beautiful.

I was originally going to be cremated and buried between my parents in their plot. Decided they wanted WAY too much plant me after I talked to them. Instead I am going to have my nieces take me up above the Rio Grande Reservoir at the headwaters of the Rio Grande River. Get them to toss my ashes into one of the creeks that feeds into the reservoir and feed the fish all the way to the Gulf of Mexico.
WHEW! When I first saw the title I thought this thread was gonna be bad news - like a terminal diagnosis with a short horizon!
Glad it's just about "being prepared".

Nice. I recently added a small family cemetery to my property.

A friend's Father and Mother lived in NW PA. They also had a saluting cannon. After they were cremated the cremains were loaded into the cannon and shot out over a lake below the house. Everyone shared a splash of Crown Royal in remembrance of them. The bottle for his Father came out of Dads stock and his Mother went to the State Store and bought her own. Miss them both!

When my Wife passed, my FIL bought a Cemetery location big enough for all of us.
Then he installed a double headstone with all of my data carved in except my final event.
You ain’t seen quite seen everything until you see your name on a Tombstone.

Cremation and scattered at one of my favorite mountain tops. To each their own but I always figured why spend a lot on a headstone that in a generation or two will be forgotten. Also why take up a piece of land for burial. I have seen to many abandoned cemeteries sadly neglected.
Cremation and scattered where my parents and brother are.
In my case, a headstone would be a waste of money. I'm much younger than my surviving siblings. We have no kids.
I don't see many people coming to visit.

My mother did the same. Headstone was all in place with only the DOD left. Well, It will be going on one year since she died and I can't get the granite man to go out and finish the job!
Headstone visits...
Some do that will in honor if close enough. Visit grandparents born in 1870 & 80s. Mammy loved her flowers so plant annuals each spring...great grands & great great too. Mother & Father both 1919. And so it goes...

Was thinking of that. Small crypts there. Want my ashes put in a .30 Cal. Ammo Can. Wife likes to paint, want hers in a paint can.
