Woman dies next to own grave
2006-11-02
Saves a lot on hassle when it comes to moving the body.
AMSTERDAM (Rooters) - A Dutch woman, who had meticulously planned her own funeral after the death of her husband last year, died next to the grave in Amsterdam where she wanted to be buried, a newspaper reported.

The 65-year-old widow probably died of a heart attack while she was visiting the family grave where her name, but no date, was already inscribed, De Telegraaf daily reported Wednesday.

The woman was carrying a bag with her containing her will when she died and had already organized details of her funeral including the music she wanted played, the paper said.

#2  This was Europe. Did they even HAVE any kids? It sounds like all this poor woman had was waiting to actually die. Kinda like Europe itself.

#1  Actually, this is a pretty good way to die, right after your spouse. Rough on the kids, though, to have a second parent go so quickly after the first.
