    Do I need to put in my will that if my spouse murders me I don't want to be buried beside them? :confused:


    Why would you care? - you'll be dead.

    "I want to be buried inside her... If you know what I mean..."

    Would make for an interesting open casket.

    We don't know what happened, not really. The article mentions he suffered from mental health issues, but doesn't go into any details. It's appears that it's the family's decision to bury them side by side and isn't that what matters? Why is it up to us to discuss and doubt their decision.

    What about the woman's relatives? Wouldn't feel comfortable paying my respects at her graveside when her murderer is buried in the same plot.

    The family decide where they get buried and they know best. Certainly a lot better than us who just have media reports.

    To be honest, given the crap that their kids are going thru right now I would not be criticizing them.

    I don't get this at all. Do I need to put in my will that if my spouse murders me I don't want to be buried beside them? :confused:

    Why is it that if you commit suicide shortly after killing your spouse and/or kids it seems to absolve you of being a murderer and you will be looked upon sympathetically?

    Whether you get it or not is of absolutely no relevance whatsoever.

    I'm pretty sure their family - the people who knew them best are perfectly capable of making the right decision.

    I think their family and probably mine and lots more will say "ah sure they loved each other really" and ignore the fact that one murdered the other which is my point. If that guy doesn't commit suicide but goes to jail for murder and then dies 20 years later do you think the family will want to bury him beside his wife? I highly doubt it but he killed himself so it's fine.

    This sums it up.

    This is the family's way of dealing with what has happened.

    Let's not have a thread which sets out to criticise a mourning family.
