There's a tiny cemetery west of Boise on land that was homesteaded by my great grandfather. He sold a couple acres to the county around 1910 for a cemetery. It's not an official family cemetery but many of my relatives are there. Years ago, my mother bought 4 adjoining plots for our immediate family. They aren't assigned. She just bought them so they'd be there for whoever wanted to use them. At the time they only cost $75 each. They will allow 4 urns in each plot so we can bury 16 in them. My dad, my brother, and my 1st wife are in there now.
So far, we've all opted for cremation for the simple reason of cost. A cremation costs far less than even the cheapest caskets. None of us want to leave the family with the burden of an expensive funeral.
