Another benefit of burial is that it offers the ability to lay to rest, alongside your spouse, family member, or any significant loved one. For example, if a husband passes away and is buried, his wife will likely be buried beside him to so they can be alongside each other for eternity.
Quite often families choose to prepay for a set of plots so they can all be laid to rest beside each other. When purchasing a burial plot in advance, you can purchase a single plot, companion plots, which are typically meant for a married couple, or family plots, which is when a small area of the cemetery is dedicated to one family. This sense of being alongside your loved one offers a strong benefit to burial for some.
