Okay yes the grave thing is ridiculous but don't complain about not getting a car. I didn't get a car given to me either when I turned 17. If you really want one get a job and buy it yourself.

One less thing to worry about. Lol. Just be glad you didn't have to buy your own grave lot

Or alternatively let your future kids buy you a lot like everyone else does.. either way you still don't have to buy your own lot..

OP, might I suggest you explain nicely and calmly that you do not find the gift appropriate. Simply say that you don't want your funeral planned for you, as it makes you feel uneasy, and you wouldn't want to be buried in that spot. FYL.
