Asking Eric: Our Adult Children Are Going to Object to Our Burial Plans

TULSA COUNTY, OKLAHOMA, JUL 7 – Shortages of burial plots are causing disputes among adult children over their parents' final resting places, with some plots located both locally and out of state.

  • A person plans their burial arrangements involving separate cemetery plots for themselves and their deceased spouse, with one plot out of state and the other local, amid family objections.
  • This plan follows complex family dynamics where children oppose the marriage because both spouses were deceased when they met, creating potential conflict over burial decisions.
  • Experts advise the burial conversation should occur privately between the couple, encouraging selections like joint plots or non-child executors while noting cemetery plots are in short supply.
  • One person expressed that during their lifetime, they would experience deep happiness at the thought of being laid to rest next to their wife forever.
  • The arrangement suggests prioritizing personal wishes over family approval, reflecting the importance of early planning given limited plot availability and the possibility of unresolved family grief.
