And then there's the part of me that says, David, just get cremated.

Let your wife figure it out.

Let's see what happens.

Yeah, I'm undecided.

What about you?

What are you going to do?

Well, I will suggest to you a way that you can do both, right?

And that is you could actually buy, in some cemeteries, it's not that typical, but you can actually buy a name, a place to put your name.

in some cemeteries that do scattering.

And you just say, okay, I'm not going to scatter, but I want to put my partner and Maya's name here so that if there's someone who wants to come visit us, they'll have a place to visit.

That's really what it is.

I'll tell you one really quick story.

I moved to California, and I was going to Santa Barbara to see somebody.

And I kept talking to my father.

He said, well, you can go visit your grandmother.

Both of my grandmothers died before I was born, so I never knew a grandmother.

And it turned out that she was buried in the Santa Barbara Cemetery.

So on the way up, my wife and I took a detour, and I found the grave, and I just burst into tears.

Because I never got to go to grandmother's house again.

because I never had a grandmother.
