[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents both have paid for a cemetery in Queens, NY for many years as that is where my dad's family is buried.  They have now moved to the Philly area.  We have tried to convince him to change their plans but he refuses.  The thought of grieving and having to travel to NYC for a burial service is very stressful.  I have tried to explain that it's unfair to us and his grandkids to have to travel at a difficult time, but he doesn't care.  [/quote]

While I emphasize with most of the posters, you sound singularly unreasonable.  It’s understandable if your father wants to be buried with his family, he should be commended for having already paid for and made the necessary arrangements, and (perhaps most importantly) Philly and New York are less than 2 hours apart!

If a 2 hour drive to bury your father in accordance with his wishes and plans is too much for you then you should feel free to opt out, but frankly you suck for giving an old man grief for putting in place what sounds to be a well thought out and meaningful plan just to save yourself a relatively short commute.[/quote]
