Need immediate help. How the hell do we get buried together?? [View all]
Living in Houston, TX. A fairly blue spot in the middle of a sea of red.
Im helping a very good friend arrange services for his husband (legally married) who passed away on Tuesday after a long fight with cancer.
We can now live together without ridiculous sodomy laws giving LE rights to invade our homes.
We can now be married.
But we cant be buried with our husbands/wives???
We have tried 5 different funeral homes in the area. 4x outright refused to recognize their relationship. 1 has allowed to perform services, but on the condition that my friend not be identified as a spouse or husband during any of the services. We have likewise found no place that will allow him to purchase a plot where they both may be interred together. Best weve found is allowing his husband to be cremated and he can take the ashes, or a couple of seperate single plots near each other.
We cant seem to find anything at all online about overcoming this kind of discrimination.
Gaypages dont have any providers listed that are friendly to us in the area, houstonlgbtchamber likewise doesnt have anything of this nature.
Anyone here by any chance have experience in this area??
