Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Community Cemetery

[Dahako (Dahako]

Hi -
 
It wouldn't bother me.  My parents both donated their bodies to  medical 
research, as I plan to do.  When we got my mom's ashes back, my dad  buried 
them 
under some cherry trees in the front yard. No other  marker.  Lots of people 
have family plots around there and it is not  an issue at sale time (unless it 
is a historic pre-Civil War plot, in which  case it drives values up).  This 
was in rural North Carolina.

yesterday: a pancake breakfast, a Progressive Neighbors political event, and a  
board 
meeting.  Plus, the landscape workday started by the front door.  Today, it's a 
potluck dinner and a community-wide meeting with the county  parking and 
trash people.  Tomorrow, it's Halloween poetry and  trick-or-treating."
