Choosing a Good Spot for the Funrall and the Grave
When you and your family choose a spot to have the funrall and grave the best place to go is where the person grew up. My grandpa's grave is placed in the Oakland Rural grave yard in Youngstown, NY where his sons grew up. My great grandma's grave is placed about 5 blocks away from her childhood house.
