Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire 3 months for a burial.

The wife’s aunt passed a couple days ago. The funeral home says they’re 3 months out but they can put her on ice until then.

I’ve never heard of such a thing.

FWIW the plot was purchased years back.

Looks like the kids are going the cremation route.

Not sure what 3rd world country yall live in. My dad died a month ago on a Wednesday and was buried on Saturday. Plot was also purchased years back.

Damn. That’s crazy.

You live in the permafrost area up north? Lol

Most of the cemeteries up here have underground vaults to store bodies of winter deaths for burial after spring thaw.

I thought this thread was about Harry Reid! Are the dummycraps going to beat George Floyd's record for getting trucked around the country before they plant the stiff?

I don’t live there

Darn. I thot it was a dimocrap died last summer and wanted to vote in person.

I don't think it's as unusual as most of us might think. My dad passed away on Dec. 13, back in 2013. Because it was getting so close to Christmas and he was being buried in another state, we opted to do the visitation and funeral after New Years. Think about it, in some states, you'd have to wait until the thaw before they could bury you, so they must have some way of keeping a person for an extended period of time. I suspect they do a partial embalming immediately to help with preservation and preventing decomposing gases building up (you don't want Uncle Chester exploding during storage), and then put you back on ice. Closer to the service they probably finish the "dress out" and make you look pretty.

Cremate my ass, the only thing sitting on ice should be the beer they drink for my celebration of life.

Jeebus.


Thats wild.

Damn SB, sorry about your wife’s aunt.

Thanks Beav. But, I think she wanted to go.

Hobbs, NM......small world. My mom was born there back in 1917.

Also sorry for your loss. My mom died beginning of Nov and in the ground within the week. Took an extra half day, backhoe blew a hydraulic line..,shidt happens.

I'm in Michigan, unfortunately

My Condolences.

That don't sound right SB, burials are 3 days out here.

Sounds to me like the funeral home is run by Joe Bob and Jimmy.

What home is saying this?

Around here, white people get buried within two or three days.

I’d figure they have no employees.

Sorry for your loss.

Probably bingo.
