    3. Dear Phyllis, Thank you very much. My Williams family seemed to travel all over NSW. Sarah Emma's husband was buried in Murwillumbah. Many Thanks again. I will check the deathdates to see who the other Juchau is, but I think it may be her son.

    2. Jackie
    3. Jenny, I'm guessing that James Emanuel POLETTI and Ruby Myrtle POLETTI were linked somehow (most likely married) as Ruby's site was purchased the same date as James'....that's if I'm reading the CD correctly. According to the CD, James purchased his site the day he was cremated and Ruby purchased her site the same day James was cremated. It took me a little while to work out that part of the CD, but I managed it. It was interesting to note that James Emanuel also purchased a site for his brother, Ernest Andrew although no date is mentioned for purchase. Sometimes you create your own brick walls by just not thinking clearly at the time. However, when something like this happens, you remember it for next time. Thanks for giving me that advice Jenny Jackie QLD

    1. [[AUS-CEM]] Re: [[AUS-CEM]] Re: [[AUS-CEM]] URGENT - Cemetery Tenures
    2. re temporary plots....this is a true story, names have not been mentioned to protect the poor daughter of the mother and father who feels strange about it all.... A certain person's father was dying. He was so depressed, and his wife was a very practical sort, not a very loving sort of person, or could not show it. She just said, well, IF something happens (and we all know what she meant) where do you want to be buried. This father was so fed up he just said, you can bury me in the back yard with the dog as far as I am concerned. (Note...NEVER try to be silly when you are dying, it backfires!) The wife said, well, if that is where you want to be buried, that's where you will go, end of conversation. So eventually the man breathes his last and he gets cremated and his ashes are in a shoe box, or it looks like a shoe box. We collect it and sign for it, to dispose of it. We told the funeral man where it was going and he dutifully wrote it in his book. We then have the committal 'service' in the back yard. Just some of the family. My husband had to dig the hole. While we are all trying to say the Lord's Prayer, my husband digs up the dogs head. Oh, says my mother, poor Beppo, and she has a conversation with my husband about the dog. We keep trying to 'pray' while all this goes on. Oh, there is his leg, goodness, any more Malcolm, oh, there is his OTHER leg, poor Beppo..you can just imagine it. My friend got a fit of the giggles and nearly choked with all these bones coming out, mum was more concerned about the head of the dog than anything else. She missed the prayer entirely. Anyway, to cut a dreadful internment story short, we finally got dad buried with,or on top of,or partly underneath, it was so mucked up eventually, the dog, Beppo. We all went to have a cup of tea. WE needed it. Wait the story has not finished.... A couple of years later it was the wife's turn to die. She told the executor a friend of the family, she wanted to go, and a point to the back yard and a nod. So we get the box, it starts again, and by then my daughter was living in the house, she got the lot, so I gave the box to her and said, well, you know what mum wanted. Here she is. I also said, on no account are you to ask me to attend another funeral service in the back yard, the farce last time was enough. Also please do not bury ME on top of mum, on top of dad, on top of the dog, Beppo, in the back yard. Now I am still alive, and hope not to be buried in the back yard. Mercifully I have other children, and I have told them my instructions about a back yard burial. The story has a bit of a non-closure about it really. Dad in in the back yard. Daughter does not live there anymore, place is rented and will be sold once she can get her act together. Mum has not been placed at all. She is still in the cupboard at my daughter's place. So I cannot go to my father's last resting place, it is in a stranger's back yard. I cannot go to my mother's last resting place. She is in the cupboard. It would be nice on mother's day or Christmas to go somewhere, but that is an option not available to me. I don't really want to go to a cupboard and pat it. I have suggested to my daughter to take dad out and put him and mum in a place, under a rock, put a plaque on it, at the local cemetery where her friends and myself can go to, if we want to. She says that is not what her grandparents wanted. Well, I am sure they didn't want to be in some stranger's backyard either. They thought she would live there for the rest of her days, but now some poor person might dig that garden and dig dad up. They will get quite a shock.
