Would you purchase your final resting place off of an online yard sale?

It's one of the hardest things to think about while living! Dying is not something most of us like to think about but as the saying goes, "Eventually we all go!" Yes, it's morbid to say out loud but it's true. If you are a planner and thinking about your final resting place and don't mind buying something so important on social media, I think we might have found something that will interest you.

Fishkill, New York is a Beautiful Final Resting Place

Not only is Fishkill beautiful but many cemeteries in the Hudson Valley are fantastic places to lay for eternity, right? So why would someone be selling something like this? The post stated that the crypt is for sale because the seller has moved out of the area. As with many things on social media, the post received a few comments from people who wanted to show off their comedian skills with cemetery jokes...

"Why do most cemeteries have fences around them? Because people are dying to get in! "

Old Cemeteries in Ulster County New York

These old cemeteries are scattered throughout Ulster County, New York. If you are familiar with the area you have most likely driven by one. My question is have you ever stopped and taken a moment to think about history? Some of the people in these old family plots lived in the Hudson Valley during the 1700s. One thing I do ask is if you do come across an old cemetery please be respectful. These grounds are someone's final resting place they should be treated that way no matter how you find them. Taking anything other than possibly a stone rubbing or a photo is unacceptable.
