Our families are very traditional.
Everyone in our family who died, was not cremated.
One of my family member, with his wife, was buried in one place in our ancestral burial ground.
My father was buried as well.
But it needed a big lot. His graveyard is about 200 square meters.
Moreover, it is at my hometown, and usually going to my hometown takes four and half hours(no traffic jam) to drive to.
I have 4 sisters, and there are about 20 members in our family.
We visit our father's grave during the New Year and the Korean Thanksgiving Day.
We, around 20people, have to drive about 5 hours.
My mother doesn't like that.
One day she called me to buy a spot in the cemetery of the catholic church in Seoul.
Going to that church just takes 30 minutes by car.
She wants to donate her body to Catholic hospital to be cremated when she dies. |
