No, I don't think that's weird. Personally, I like to go to cemetaries and wander around looking at the really old headstones and also the ones that have added extra personal touches like you are thinking about. Does that make me weird?

I think it is a terrific idea. Since I don't want to be stuck in the ground somewhere I plan to be cremated and then my late hubby and I will be scattered off a beautiful mountain or scattered on the ocean....I want to be with the birds or the beautiful fishes. Hope I can make up my mind soon and then not be concerned anymore about it.

I think everything that you prepare just makes it easier for the loved ones you leave behind. And a quilt in the corner of the stone would be very attractive. It's kind of a warm fuzzy kind of thing for people to remember when they visit you.

I truely appreciate when people don't trun their heads away from the inevitable. Being prepared is one of the kindest things you could do for the family. I think it is a cool idea to have preperations at hand.
I really like the idea of your DH. I think he rocks!
One very important thing to keep in mind for everyone is that instructions should never be kept in a safty deposite box because no one can get into them in a quick way. All instructions should be kept in a place where the whole family knows where to find them. And I think several copies are a good idea too.
My MIL lived with me for forty years. She was 95 and now resides in a pretty wood box and shares the sun porch, my quilting and her rocking chair. We have great conversations! My only problem is who will care for her when I'm no longer here!
