That sounds lovely Margot! Many of my relatives are in the same cemetery, so we are all together, but not in the same actual plot. The latter might cause a commotion! We are all "talkers"! Eilish PS.

I was lucky in that I won my Framed Certificate 12 months ago for a story I wrote and submitted to them regarding my Maguire's from Drumgowna and the Nobles from Dromore (Fermanagh). I had seriously considered buying the certificate, but hadn't got round to it, and was thrilled when I won it. I was sad to hear a few months later that it was being discontinued but thankfully can now pass it on to my Granddaughter who is my Family History protégé. Regards.

Margot, Ditto, as my aunt is buried with her mother.  The family received some resistance from the cemetery, but eventually won out on the basis of the burial plot contract not barring it.  This is in Toronto, Canada.

You are lucky to have one place/one religion. My great grandmothers and two great grandfathers are buried in Scotland, England and Ireland. One pair of great grandparents are in a generational plot that belongs to my 2nd great grandparents. The Irish great grandparents are somewhere in Cavan (or maybe Fermanagh). My Swiss great grandmother is in England with her infant children, unmarked grave, but her husband and another great grandfather are in Canada--one in Montreal and one in Waterloo Ontario. My mother's parents are buried in a country cemetery near Montreal (somewhere they liked to vacation), my mother and sister are buried in my brother-in-law's plot in Montreal because they were Catholic, my father's parents are buried in the Protestant cemetery in Montreal and I don't know where my father's ashes are as my stepbrother had his urn and my stepmother's and I have lost touch with him.
