| Second spouse always loses out, and that is how it should be especially if there are no kids. Best never to remarry, and second wives are usually evil stepmoms, hence adult kids have to visit the grave of the evil step mom? Of course, evil stepmom wants her way, that is why she is the second wife. if she was first wife material she would have been married earlier. |
| Same goes for second husbands, but women who truly loved their spouse most likely will not remarry, and most certainly not to an evil step dad material. |
Spoken like a true bitter divorcée |
Agreed. Unless he asks to be buried with his second wife (or to be cremated) instead, the man being discussed here should be buried with his first wife/the mother of his children. But what is the right solution when the deceased man in question had kids with his first wife, became a widower, remarried, & had more kids with his second wife? |
No, happily married first spouse, for over 23 years. But as an orthodox christian, first marriage is the only marriage to me, there is no possibility of second marriage in my eyes. |
Ha, spoken by a true AP on your part. Go away, home wrecker. |
What is the view like from up there on your high horse? |
Time to lay off the Disney movies, PP. |

Unless he expressed a preference, I would go with what the surviving spouse wants. I don't honestly think it matters, anyway! |
Yes, all second wives obviously started out as APs -- even the ones who married their husbands several years after the first wives' deaths! |
True |

This happened to my grandfather. He actually wanted to be buried in a different plot all those years later, so wife 1 (my grandma, who died when my dad was a teenager) is in cemetery A, he is in cemetery B (in another part of the state), and wife 2 is in cemetery C at her family church.
When my grandmother died, he bought a 3-spot gravesite, which the kids can use as they see fit. |
| Bury them all three close together. I would be OK with this if my husband passed away after my death. I am also Catholic though, and we believe in the communion of saints after death. So, from my perspective, the soulmate issue is irrelevant, and where someone is buried only matters as to how it affects the grieving family. |

What do the kids think? Do they like Wife 2? Did Wife 1 let it be known that she wanted Husband to remarry?
If so, I would bury them all together. |
| What if he and Wife2 have kids together? |
