I chose, pre-paid and had my own marker placed in the family burial

I did it on my own because there will be an excellent chance there will be no one else to do it on my behalf years from now when I go the big Transcription Service in the Sky.

I'm proud of the design choice I made and seeing the marker there on the burial space I also pre-purchased never makes me sad or freaked, and it's actually comforting knowing it's handled, and my marker is represented with my family even if my remains don't end up with my marker (hope so with my current plans, but stuff happens). In the meantime, I concentrate on plans for lots of life that needs to be lived. Flippin' Covid has delayed some travel plans, but this, too, shall pass.
