"Do many people still buy cemetery plots? I'm going to have my remains put into an Etch-A-Sketch so my granddaughter can play with grandpa, but other than that I don't care what happens to my cremains and I sure as heck don't want to take up space in the ground. My sister was interred in 1978 and I never went to the grave until we returned to bury my dad in 1987. And my only time back since was to bury mom in 2013. I'll never go back. Do most people still do that? Digger?"
