    This happens more often than we know about, though it’s still a pretty rare occurrence.

      …I don’t know…does it really matter? Once we’re in the dirt, it’s done. You’re visiting a place dedicated to a memory, not the decomposing mass…right? Maybe I’m being overly blasé about it.

        This woman had a family plot, where other members of her family were buried, and she wanted to be buried next to them.

        My family has a plot. When I die, I’d like to be buried next to my parents and siblings, not somewhere else. When I visit my family in cemeteries, it’s much easier for me when they’re all together instead of spread out around the place. (Have you ever tried visiting in a cemetery - it can be surprisingly hard to find people!)

        And finally, we paid for that particular piece of land, sometimes for a particular reason - a nearby tree or creek, for example, may drive up the price of a plot. Why should we be switched to a different plot that we didn’t choose?
