1. Yes

My grandmother and grandfather were both cremated and interred (buried in the ground- not in a wall or anything) at the columbarium at my church. There are plaques on the wall for each.

4. Yes. My grandparents are buried in a small plot. There is room for

a few more of us to be buried there in urns. Like about 5 more places. Doubt there will be room on the stone for all of our names.

5. It depends on the state and the rules of the cemetary association and/or owners.

In Texas one is only required to be buried in a body bag. My family is being allowed to use more of the purchased plot for two is now being allowed to accompany 4 cremations.

6. I dug my father's grave myself, with a simple shovel.

It is in a small township cemetery in very rural Michigan. My family put a small headstone there, to mark it. The plot was owned by another family member. It was all legal.

Generally, cremains can be put anywhere. They are just ashes. To bury them in a cemetery one probably needs to own the plot.

9. Yes, it's the standard in my family.

Makes for cheaper burial plots, so easier to keep family together in historic graveyards.

Burial on holy ground

15. None of my business but...

as someone who plans to be cremated (unless they allow funeral pyres then), was that the wish of the deceased? Half of my reasoning is the expense of funerals/burials.

16. In PA yes

My grandfather was cremated, and half his ashes were buried in PA.

The other half will be going to IA to be buried next to his parents.
