[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]if you are getting funeral plots for your parents where are they?

I have one parent who is declining quickly and another who is really not well. I always assumed they would want plots in the small city in the northeast where I grew up, and where a bunch of their friends have plots. They were part of a really tight immigrant community up there, and a  bunch of families bought plots together. But it turns out my parents never pulled the trigger. And we have NO other family left in that area any more.

Now they want to get plots here near DC--or, well, really, closer to Gaithersburg since there don't seem to be a lot of open cemeteries near the city.  I really don't think of this as home for them, but the reality is that they will almost certainly pass here. 
Since my family is here, as is my only sibling's family, I guess it makes sense? Feels weird to me but I guess death is death and at some level the location doesn't really matter...it would be nice to have plots nearby where we could visit them and keep them up.

Curious what others have done. [/quote]

I think it makes sense to have them buried near you.  Working on a will and while I mentioned a preferred burial spot I also said that family could make the determination if it made more sense to bury me where they could visit grave etc. it sounds like your parents prefer to be buried near where you live and I would respect those wishes.
