Do You Want A Distinctive Resting Place For You And Your Wife After Your Deaths?
Are you and your spouse reaching the golden years? If so, maybe you have been talking about things like wills and planning your funeral. Or, you might still be relatively young, and you want to plan ahead. It might be that you have recently attended the funeral services for a young friend or coworker who passed away after having a heart attack. That might have led you to realize that mortality can come when it's least expected.
No matter your age or the reason for you considering what will happen at the time of your death, maybe you have been thinking that you want a distinctive resting place for you and your wife when you pass away. If that's the case, from arranging for your bodies to be placed in a mausoleum to purchasing beautiful headstones, here are some ideas that might help you.
A Mausoleum
Do you want the final resting place for you and your wife to be above the ground? If so, a mausoleum might be a great choice for you. When you picture mausoleums, perhaps you think of huge, ornate ones that have appeared in movies. Maybe you have seen that type of mausoleum in history books or when you've visited cemeteries. Of course, if your bank account is a very healthy one, maybe that's the kind of mausoleum you want for you and your wife.
On the other hand, maybe you don't want to spend an exorbitant amount of money. If that's the case, consider paying for the construction of a smaller, less ostentatious mausoleum. Select one that is designed to hold two people. Select an inscription that you want as part of the design of the structure. For example, the inscription might say something like "United In Life, Together For Eternity."
Headstones
If even a smaller mausoleum will cost more than you can spend, and if you don't mind that your bodies will be interred in the ground, perhaps distinctive headstones might be the next best thing.
Consider selecting granite or marble headstones with an ornate design to them. You can even choose granite or marble headstones that will depict your photograph. Consider using photographs of each of you on the day you were married. Besides the dates of your births and deaths, the same inscription that would have been on the mausoleum will still be appropriate for the headstones. Except, this time, divide the quote. For example, the first headstone might read "Lived Life Fully," and the second one will add, "To Be Continued."
