Show it anywaywow you should tell us how old you are, because thinking about death before age 50 is kinda odd IMO.
YDI for your grandma buying you a cemetery plot for your birthday. If that's not weird enough, it's about a 2 mile walk from where the rest of your family will be buried.
old woman wants you dead...RUN FO YOUR LIFEE
your gran gran wants you dead she's prolly out for your money... even though it's usually the other way around :/
yeah ok 50 is maybe I bit old and tbh I didn't want to put an age on that post... my point is, picking out a gravestone at the age of 16 is weird but I have no idea how old OP is.
hit her with a freeze pop, BAM!
I like cake :)
umm...no? its the same distance walking or driving, it just takes longer to walk.
Your grandma doesn't have much faith in you, does she?
Run to the hills, run for your life!!!
I wouldn't mind having my plot paid off. :/ To be fair, you never know when you're going to die. Furthermore, the distance could just be because all the other plots near the family have been bought. My father's family plot was divided after my grandmother, grandfather, and great aunt passed: my other great aunt and my great uncle had to be buried about a mile away.
72 makes a good point. If Grandma just found out *how* expensive plots are while settling her own affairs, I can understand why she might think it's a good gift, particularly since it sounds like a lot of family is or will be buried in that cemetary. However, it IS rather morbid, and she assumed a lot by buying it. So many things affecting burial can happen in OP's life, like settling in another country or converting to a religion with burial laws, like Judaism. (S)he could want to be buried next to a spouse, or be creamated, or donate his/her body to science. It's disrespectful to go against someone's wishes after death. My grandmother was buried, though she wanted her body donated. The family wanted to be able to "visit" her. IMO they should've donated her body and bought an empty plot and marker themselves, and used the money she left for what SHE wanted— charity.
shut the **** up!!!!!!!!! stop doing that!!!!
two miles is two miles whether you're walking or driving. sucks either way though.
PRECIOUS
lol!
poor u!!!
even in death your family wants to be away from u.
You're lucky. What's funny is just this evening I drove by a cemetery and thought how lucky it is for those people to have had family that can afford to put them in the ground and give them a marker. So many people are forgotten- die without family- or family that can afford the expense in burial- so they are forgotten by time. I thought, I'll probably die alone, without family, and be cremated by the county who will dump me in a pile of ashes with other cremains in a pit somewhere. The weird part is the two mile walk. Oh, and the birthday part...but you're still lucky.
Sheesh. Cheer up, emo kid. =
That was creepy, but true. Though I had both my grandparents cremated, and they will not be forgotten or put in a pit.
i looked into the comments just to see who would say it first.

What's wrong with that? Are you not dying to get your birthday gift?
