With burial, your final resting place can be right beside your spouse and family members. For example, if a husband passes away and is buried, his wife will likely be buried beside him 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 ones is a strong benefit of choosing burial for some.
