I can tell you that without a doubt ---after 2 years your spouse and kids will slow down on the flowers and nick knacks they put out on Memorial Day and during the year. After 2 years you will be lucky if just your spouse visits you. After your spouse is gone your kids "may" hit the gravesite on Memorial Day for a few years-- but don't count on it. As far as your grand kids go you are forgotten the day they plant you. I've seen this scenario happen dozens of times during my time at the cemetery. Don't let your families waste a lot of money on a fancy funeral---Everyone is soon forgotten.</p></blockquote><p></p>
