Do you visit the graves of loved ones you've lost? email this discussion to a friend?

My husband and I were talking the other day about what we wanted to happen to us when we died and that got me thinking. I told my husband to donate any usable part of me and then I want to be cremated. I'd like the ashes buried,though, so that my kids have somewhere to go to feel close to me.

So do you visit the graves of your loved ones that you've lost?
How often?
If you don't why not?

I actually don't. My immediate family is fairly small. I lost my grandmother a few years back and her remains are buried in South Carolina and I currently reside in Pennsylvania. Don't drive so I haven't been there since her funeral. But I still talk to her through prayer and whatnot every now and then.

Nice topic by the way.

All of the relatives that my husband and I have lost are in fort snelling in Minnesota which is about an hour and a half away from us so we don't get there as often as we would like, but like you said, you can still feel close to someone through other means.

hi madasp! As a child we visited our family graveyard at least once a month. My granfather was very picky as to how the place was kept. I have moved around alot and don't vivit near as much but I do try to make the occassional trip. It is about a three hour drive from where I live at now so it makes it tough to go regularly.

oh dear.. I want my parts donated, i have it that way on my health card.. and i want to be creamated too.. but i hadn't thought about the grave thing.. i dont think i really need a skinny 6 foot plot of land after i'm dead.. now i'll have to think.. hopefully my kids will be old when then time comes and i can ask them when i need to make a decision.. after all i dont think it matters much to ME what is done with my ashes once i'm no longer here..

I have not visited the cemetary in a long time. And I really should go see my mom and dad there. But sometimes we just don't have the time, and I talk to them in my own way, as for my husband. He was cremated so he is here with me. I also want to be cremated, and I want each of my grandkids and my two kids to have some of my ashes. That way I will always be there for them to talk to when they need to.
