| Was over in some big beautiful country last Wednesday, it is 50 to 70 miles of graded dirt road just to get there. It was nice sunny day for an outside service. And I got sunburn, right to the top of my head and thinning hair one saddle horse that they had not gotten out of the pasture ran by the service then stood at a distance and reverently watched. There was a meadowlark that thought she could sing better then we could, but did her singing when we weren’t. The service was long but enjoyable, then the casket was loaded intro a chuck wagon and we all walked ¾ of a mile to top of a hill overlooking the ranch and red wall for a grave side service. Military honors, cowboy hats and nice suits were all involved. The lariats used to lower the coffin were thrown in grave. Gene would have had a fit as they probably all still had a few loops left in them. All the neighbors and friend took turn shoveling the red dirt back into the grave. There was a great meal and visiting. We left at 6 pm and didn’t make it home till 1:30am this morning.

how does a person go about being buried on his own land?
I have heard that there are some big fights with local laws due to zoning and stuff which will not allow it. Wife DEMANDS to be laid to rest here somewhere, and I just can not see my dad in law anywhere but his ranch.... do other states have easier guide lines?

Depends on state laws--Montana isn't too hard- just designate an area as a family cemetery (can't be in a flood plain) ... Cheapest way is to be cremated and then have your ash's buried in your plot on your land....Don't have to go thru all that and the cost of cement casket vaults and all....
I already got my tree picked out that I want my ashes buried under....

My Wife because of her job had to go to a Pandemic training for a couple days last year. In which she learned even if you are in a cemetery district you can be buried on your own land at least in Wyoming. But one must think ahead to who will be responsible say the grandkids sell the place.
