Mom at rest...no time soon!

My mom hasn't lived in Marshall since she was a tiny girl but it's the home where her heart is. She has lived in South Carolina for decades but doesn't feel at home enough to be buried there, her parents were buried in Hanover, PA but she doesn't feel like that's home either, she wants to be buried in Marshall and apparently we will be allowed to bury her cremated remains in the plot with her beloved grandmother, assuming no one else in the family objects. We can have a placard mounted onto the back of grannys stone with moms information on it. This pleases her! Although we don't dwell on the topic of death in our family neither do we shy away from it. We spoke with the caretakes at the cemetary while we were there and settled a years long question in her mind as to what she wants us to do when the time comes. So now that's settled! That does not mean we are ready to put this plan in action!!!!!
