Would this be weird?

I have lost both parents and my entire mother's side of the family, at 40 yrs. old, and responsible for the burial 4 of them... it is the nicest thing you can do for your family. It will save a ton of "wondering", "did we do the right thing?", "is that what he/ she would have really wanted?" It will also settle any disputes that may arise as well. Bravo to you and although they might not be keen on knowing/ thinking about it right now, they will be soooo thankful when the time comes :)

Hey, I got my plot for my birthday this year! I didn't think it was weird. My husband and I went and picked out our spot together. It's all paid for so one less thing for the kids to worry about. My best friend picked out a needle and spool of thread for her tombstone. The sad part is, I got to visit her spot last year.

Not weird at all. My folks prepaid for their funerals, including headstones, in installment payments many years ago - certainly saved us having to deal with burial issues and costs as we mourned the loss when each died.

I think the idea of sewing machine or quilt is good. When my parents passed we all thought of an antique tractor for dad but couldn't think of something for mom so we skipped it, but sewig machine would have been perfect. We also did do the parents of for the back.
