Family burial plots

[larkspur]

My great grandmother, has her two husbands and one son in one plot and she is on her own...after several children and 2 husbands she probably wanted the peace and quiet

It would be interesting to see the original requirements of the plots and lairs which had been bought by each family.

Coincidentally there were cases cited this month in the Hull Daily Mail which shows human error:-

<< .... "As we prepared to bury my mother, M Garton & Son funeral directors, which I have to say have been fantastic, told me, 'You do realise that your mother will be the last one to be buried in this plot, don't you?'

"I said, 'No. It's for four people and I'll be that fourth person one day, joining my parents and aunt in the plot'.

Miss T---- says the funeral director explained to her that her aunt had not been buried deep enough in the plot.

She said: "My mother would be mortified. She would be absolutely devastated.

"The reason my aunt, who was my mother's sister, was buried in the plot was because we all thought there would be another space for me.

"My mother wanted me to be buried with her and my father.">>
