Dear Ann Landers,
was surprised at your response to the man in Oklahoma who wanted to be buried in his 1937 Dodge. You said, "If that's what you want, I hope you get it." You must be just as nutty as he is. Don't you know we are running out of ground? There isn't enough room for people, much less a 1937 Dodge. Get with it, Granny.

Dear R.,
I checked with Rosehill Cemetery in Chicago (founded 150 years ago) and they have enough ground to last for at least another 100 years. (Of course, they've been burying people out there, not cars.) Atlanta, however, is getting into high-rise mausoleums, which is an-other way to go, if you'll pardon the expression. The ultimate solution could be cremation, although some religious groups are opposed to it. Time alters customs, however, and it may well alter this one.

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?
