I received an email invitation via a neighborhood social group to join a local cemetary. Excuse me, memorial park.
To join, I only needed to purchase plots in advance for myself and my partner and our two adopted children, plus unlimited additional plots in the family pet section.
A map of the memorial park was included, with the graves of deceased neighborhood residents marked and those of neighborhood residents as yet undead labeled. I was invited to choose which neighbors I would like us to be buried next to. (The neighbors, if living, must agree.)
There were options for cremation, burial at sea, or burial at the foot of a tree in a biodegradable coffin.
Headstones that went beyond the normal would be subject to neighborhood vote.
There was also an option to be buried in your own back yard, although later owners of the property have the option of exhuming you and sending you to the city’s itinerant burying grounds.
the thing is, i got not just the offer from the memorial park, but constant and repeated cyber urgings from my neighbors to sign up. they have coffee klatches.
