The most pointless thing in life is being the richest person in the cemetery.
Col. sanders also said that on a tv interview long time ago
I agree
You never see a brinks truck following a hearse.
I already have my plot in the cemetery I see it every time I visit my brother. It’s very weird in a way where I will be for eternity. However at least I know I will be in the next plot over.
Nice to know Kari thank you,hi to Josh also from ballarat in Oz,🙏🙏👋👋👍🇦🇺
That's great information. I did realize if you are buried in a town that you don't live in, it's more expensive. Thanks for the new lesson.
Hi Kari, you have good knowledge. In England as you will know Graveyards have a church on the land and Cemetery's are plots of land just for burial and scattering Ashes.
In the UK plots are leased for 99 years so most people try to get double or triple plots so the 99 years resets with a new burial.
I don't know why they say they are leased for 99 years as I have seen hundreds of graves in cemetery's hundreds of years old
If a Church that was torn down is that still considered a graveyard or a cemetery ?
My wife and I are having a our ashes interred in our local cemetery,thanks Kari 👋👋🙏🙏👍🇦🇺to you and Josh.
Honestly I just assumed they were interchangeable. I never knew until now there was a distinction. We always said we were going to the cemetery to put flowers on our loved ones graves, and it is attached to a church. Didn’t realize all these years we were wrong!
Very good I never thought of it that way
So very informative ❤❤❤❤
I drive past a very small church building that is no longer a church but is now a pest control company that has an accompanying graveyard...very old graves. It just looks so odd and kind of a little sad.
Interesting, thanks Kari!!
I have the deed to the family plot that my Great -Great-Grandfather bought in 1844. I'll be there in the last space next to my Grandfather when I go. It is a large cemetery operated by a cemetery association.
Awesome!
Thanks Kari!
Interesting history lesson.🤔 Thanks.👍
I 💜💜💜💜 Your Commentary 🙏🏽. I was (AM😉) a Mortician in my other Life😊. People who know me well, refer to me in my alter ego - Morticia 😍
A quote from Hunter S. Thompson:
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!
thank you
I figured that was the difference. My dad is buried in a Memorial park.
👍
Question, Kari, does embalming keep the corpse fresher for the funeral?
that is the hope
You skipped two other types of ownership: cemetery associations (the people who buy land are the owners and there is a board of directors) and independent not-for-profits. They are rare but do exist.
I'm thinking with small churches disappearing as communities change, tge ownership of the graveyard may change too. Unless there is a remnant willing to maintain it, the people there may be relocated as communities grow up around them.
Cool now I know I will be buried in a graveyard. Janet from Wi
First ❤👋
I'm going to challenge you a bit on this one. The word 'cemetery' is from the Greek word 'koiman' which means 'put to sleep', and death as 'sleep' is a distinctly Christian idea (cf 1 Corinthians 15).
And when you say that church cemeteries are only for those who 'tithe' there, that is not only misleading, but it is also wrong. My congregation does not own a cemetery, but many country churches do, and the right to a Christian burial is reserved for, well, Christians, those who are active partakers of the Lord's Supper in that congregation that owns the cemetery. Yes, the members of the congregation should be tithing, but if they don't pay much or any at all has no bearing on their right to be buried in the "Lord's field" (cemetery) owned by the church. To paint with such broad strokes is to slander the whole church and imply that it's just another way to get money for the clergy who get taxed more on significantly less pay than their peers in other types of jobs.
