Dad is to the North. When ordering his headstone, the guy tried to tell us
he had to be on the South because that's what most people do, due to the
stance at marriage. Too bad - he wanted on the North, so that's where he's
at. I would hate to try to guess position in a pioneer cemetery.

| In a pioneer cemetery, where the graves are laid out with the stones on
the west end of the grave spaces, if there are two grave spaces for a
husband and wife with one stone which has both their names, would the
husband be buried in the south space or the north space?
| Thank you for any thoughts on this.
