Dear Ann Landers,
have a suggestion for that man in Oklahoma who wanted to be buried in his 1937 Dodge. You said if he could get the OK from the cemetery, you saw nothing wrong with it. And then you reminded him that he might need three or even four plots. Why doesn't he have himself cremated and put in the ashtray? Then he could have a crusher (which is used to compress old cars into scrap metal) reduce the size of his car to a neat little block. He would need only one plot, and save a good bit of money. -Galt, Mo.

Dear Galt,
Here's your letter, for whatever it's worth. I hope the man in Oklahoma sees it. Then he can decide. For more information, contact: Compassionate Friends P.O.

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:


Dear Readers,
, whatever they needed I provided. What really hurt my son and I the most was the obituary - we were not mentioned at all. Our friends (mine and hers) were appalled. I was embarrassed and upset for not just me, but for my son-who loved her also. I never been so upset. Her x-husband put his wife and kids and their grandchildren in the obituary, who my girlfriend barely knew. They live an hour away from us. I know its silly to be mad over a little section of the newspaper, but it still hurts. Will time let this devastating loss of her and this article ever go away? I am so angry at this whole situation, its not like we can go and rewrite an obituary notice.

Tell us what you think?
