my father is religious, I’m not and I don’t care what happens to my body after I die. Burn me, use me to feed stray cats.
To me, wasting money to buy a plot of land so I may be buried with them when I die is a stupid idea.
It is, however, his money. Who am I to disagree with him?
Under most circumstances you will have more time to decide this than your father.
Let him do what he needs. Don’t argue. Again, your decision will likely get to come after he has passed.
@vestmoria@linux.community i was going to suggest doing what @TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com was recommending; let him have is way and later, if you inherit the plot, sell it.
if you’re lucky, he bought it in southwestern california or anywhere else with the combination of a strong religious presence bordering on fundamentalism and highly sought after real estate.
I think if it was me I wouldn’t worry about it. As you say, it’s his money and you’ll presumably outlive him, so then your options are: a) just leave it and then your eventual funeral stuff is mostly sorted, saving your loved ones a bunch of money and stress one day or b) you can just disregard it and do whatever you want.
I agree with you that it is just so stupid.
How people deal with death is wild to me. When I was still in college the brother of an old high school friend died so I received an invite to the funeral.
Keep in mind this was 30+ years ago. My old buddy, who was working a retail job went 25,000 USD in debt to fund the funeral. It was absurd how much he borrowed. By comparison two years later when I graduated college I was 23,000 in debt.
I also agree with you, when I die, take as many organs as you can, use the left overs for medical students and after throw the rest in trash, use it to feed the fish, whatever…
I just want to be yote in the dumpster, but that’d probably get a lot of people I do care about in a fuck ton of trouble.
I am with you man!
He can do what he wants, but you can also do what you want. I’d play along. Chances are, he won’t be there to argue with you when you go.
It’s his money. If you don’t care, let them bury you there.
Family tomb seems like a nice thing to have.
Only if you go to rest not carrying on any familial grudges.
Imagine literally never hearing the end of what our Karen said about our Julie that time.
