Old Wife or New?

Just recently someone asked me the most heartfelt question. About 10 years ago his wife of 25 years passed away. Together they made plans for their children to be able bury him and his wife, by pre purchasing their burial plot and the monument. However 5 years later he met and married an amazing woman, and got remarried. A couple years later he found he had cancer, and decided to make preparations for his eventual demise. The question is should he be buried next to his first wife or should he buy a new plot and be buried next to his newest wife.

I would suggest being laid in between, so that he wont quarrel with is old wife or the new. I don't think it would make a lot of difference when you pass away. At least for me it would not make any difference at all.

My suggestion was to buy a third plot on the other side of him so that the new wife can be buried on one side and the old in her original plot, because I felt the first was a good wife as is the second so he should be next to both.

maybe they could bury side by side along with the new wife--he would be the middle. besides, he did promised to her that his final resting place would be beside her. i think the new wife wouldn't mind.

Hi, pastorkayte. I think that he should be buried right next to his first wife and the mother of his children. They made an agreement and he should keep it. His new wife will just have to understand this.
