Funeral question: Do I have to buy the urn vault at the cemetery place? Do I have to buy the vault for the urn at the cemetery place(for the urn to be buried) or can I get it at a wholesaler without them charging me a high fee?

How would you bury an urn? My Father bought a burial plot for himself including the grave stone but wants to be cremated when he passes away. My question is how do you go about burying an urn. I thought you put urns in a crypt, vault or spread the ashes. I have never heard of anyone burring an urn. Also how much would that cost and would you have to buy a casket to put the urn into before it goes into the ground or can you just bury the urn? I would appreciate any information you guys might have on this. Thank you

Which burial vault company is better? Wilbert or Clark? I just want to know which is more durable and will protect the casket the longest time, so people will know there loved one is being preserved underground. Which company has the best choice of burial vaults and urn vaults for there durability and quality? Thank you

Why so many archaic poems entitled "From The Vault" ? Such as follow: from the vault: Ode on a Grecian Urn by John Keats; From the vault: The Quiet Life by Alexander Pope; From the vault: The Windhover by Gerard Manley Hopkins; from the vault: To His Coy Mistress by Andrew Marvell; Thanks in advance !

Do you have a favourite poem? This is one of mine, Did you take the trouble to read it? "ELEGY WRITTEN IN A COUNTRY CHURCH-YARD" The curfew tolls the knell of parting day, The lowing herd winds slowly o'er the lea, The ploughman homeward plods his weary way, And leaves the world to darkness and to me. Now fades the glimmering landscape on the sight, And all the air a solemn stillness holds, Save where the beetle wheels his droning flight, And drowsy tinklings lull the distant folds: Save that from yonder ivy-mantled tower The moping owl does to the moon complain Of such as, wandering near her secret bower, Molest her ancient solitary reign. Beneath those rugged elms, that yew-tree's shade, Where heaves the turf in many a mouldering heap, Each in his narrow cell for ever laid, The rude Forefathers of the hamlet sleep. The breezy call of incense-breathing morn, The swallow twittering from the straw-built shed, The cock's shrill clarion, or the echoing horn, No more shall rouse them from their lowly bed. For them no more the blazing hearth shall burn, Or busy housewife ply her evening care: No children run to lisp their sire's return, Or climb his knees the envied kiss to share, Oft did the harvest to their sickle yield, Their furrow oft the stubborn glebe has broke; How jocund did they drive their team afield! How bow'd the woods beneath their sturdy stroke! Let not Ambition mock their useful toil, Their homely joys, and destiny obscure; Nor Grandeur hear with a disdainful smile The short and simple annals of the Poor. The boast of heraldry, the pomp of power, And all that beauty, all that wealth e'er gave, Awaits alike th' inevitable hour:- The paths of glory lead but to the grave. Nor you, ye Proud, impute to these the fault If Memory o'er their tomb no trophies raise, Where through the long-drawn aisle and fretted vault The pealing anthem swells the note of praise. Can storied urn or animated bust Back to its mansion call the fleeting breath? Can Honour's voice provoke the silent dust, Or Flattery soothe the dull cold ear of Death? Perhaps in this neglected spot is laid Some heart once pregnant with celestial fire; Hands, that the rod of empire might have sway'd, Or waked to ecstasy the living lyre: But Knowledge to their eyes her ample page, Rich with the spoils of time, did ne'er unroll; Chill Penury repress'd their noble rage, And froze the genial current of the soul. Full many a gem of purest ray serene The dark unfathom'd caves of ocean bear: Full many a flower is born to blush unseen, And waste its sweetness on the desert air. Some village-Hampden, that with dauntless breast The little tyrant of his fields withstood, Some mute inglorious Milton here may rest, Some Cromwell, guiltless of his country's blood. Th' applause of list'ning senates to command, The threats of pain and ruin to despise, To scatter plenty o'er a smiling land, And read their history in a nation's eyes, Their lot forbad: nor circumscribed alone Their growing virtues, but their crimes confined; Forbad to wade through slaughter to a throne, And shut the gates of mercy on mankind, The struggling pangs of conscious truth to hide, To quench the blushes of ingenuous shame, Or heap the shrine of Luxury and Pride With incense kindled at the Muse's flame. Far from the madding crowd's ignoble strife, Their sober wishes never learn'd to stray; Along the cool sequester'd vale of life They kept the noiseless tenour of their way. Yet e'en these bones from insult to protect Some frail memorial still erected nigh, With uncouth rhymes and shapeless sculpture deck'd, Implores the passing tribute of a sigh. Their name, their years, spelt by th' unletter'd Muse, The place of fame and elegy supply: And many a holy text around she strews, That teach the rustic moralist to die. For who, to dumb forgetfulness a prey, This pleasing anxious being e'er resign'd, Left the warm precincts of the cheerful day, Nor cast one longing lingering look behind? On some fond breast the parting soul relies, Some pious drops the closing eye requires; E'en from the tomb the voice of Nature cries, E'en in our ashes live their wonted fires. For thee, who, mindful of th' unhonour'd dead, Dost in these lines their artless tale relate; If chance, by lonely contemplation led, Some kindred spirit shall inquire thy fate, -- Haply some hoary-headed swain may say, Oft have we seen him at the peep of dawn Brushing with hasty steps the dews away, To meet the sun upon the upland lawn; 'There at the foot of yonder nodding beech That wreathes its old fantastic roots so high. His listless length at noontide would he stretch, And pore upon the brook that babbles by. 'Hard by yon wood, now smiling as in scorn, Muttering his wayward fancies he would rove; Now drooping, woeful wan, like one forlorn, Or crazed with care, or cross'd in hopeless love. 'One morn I miss'd him on the custom'd hill, Along the heath, and near his favourite tree; Another came; nor yet beside the rill, Nor up the lawn, nor at the wood was he; 'The next with dirges due in sad array Slow through the church-way path we saw him borne,- Approach and read (for thou canst read) the lay Graved on the stone beneath yon aged thorn.' The Epitaph Here rests his head upon the lap of Earth A youth to Fortune and to Fame unknown. Fair Science frowned not on his humble birth, And Melacholy marked him for her own. Large was his bounty, and his soul sincere, Heaven did a recompense as largely send: He gave to Misery all he had, a tear, He gained from Heaven ('twas all he wish'd) a friend. No farther seek his merits to disclose, Or draw his frailties from their dread abode (There they alike in trembling hope repose), The bosom of his Father and his God. By Thomas Gray (1716-71).

Help with my black/green deck and counters to jace/lilliana combo? I recently ordered some cards online and am trying to create a Black/green deck with the idea of getting my Grave Titans out early using greens mana base (through birds of paradise mainly) and then using the combo of Iwamori of the Open Fist and Ayumi, the Last Visitor/Geth, Lord of the Vault (when Iwamori comes into play, i can also put another legendary creature into play.) Also I would like to know if their are any good counters to the combo of Jace's ultimate and Lillianas ultimate (discard 20 cards from library, then all creatures in all graveyards go onto their side of the field). Anyways, here's my deck. Creatures: 26 Total 3x Birds of Paradise 2x Grave Titan 2x Geth, Lord of the Vault 4x Garruk's Companion 2x Iwamori of the Open Fist 2x Ayumi, the Last Visitor 1x Escaped Null 1x Memnite (I know I should have more, for consistency, I'm working on it) 1x Llanowar Elves 1x Elvish Berserker 1x Doomgape 1x Platinum Angel 1x Tukatongue Thallid 1x Nest Invader 1x Mitotic Slime 1x Kalonian Behemoth 1x Creakwood Liege Planeswalkers: 2 total 2x Garruk Wildspeaker Spells: 16 Total 3x Sylvan Bounty 1x Shadowfeed 3x Doomblade 1x Viridescent Wisps 2x Duress 1x Cruel Edict 1x Giant Growth 2x Soul Reap (Really like this one because of the low amount of green decks out there) 1x Disentomb 1x Consuming Vapors Artifacts: 4 Total 1x Origin Spellbomb 2x Golden Urn 1x Elixir of Immortality (Considering getting more for the counter to Lilliana Vess what do you think?) Lands: 23 Total 11x Forest 12x Swamp Total: 71 (Trying to cut down to 60) Tried to make this as detailed as possible to help you guys out in a response, and thanks, I know it's a lot to go through and yes, I realize i need more copies of certain cards to even out consistency in my deck, but I need help knowing WHICH ones to get copies of. Also don't forget the Jace/Lilliana combo =P

Is Kenny Anderson a living testement to all NBA players, that they should finish up schooling before going pro? http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/blog/ball_dont_lie/post/Kenny-Anderson-after-retiring-broke-graduates-;_ylt=AjHSjVn5t_947DiNyjL8cKg5nYcB?urn=nba,240794 Kenny Anderson, who was made $60 million over his entire NBA career, filed for bankrupt a short while after retiring. He recently went back to school to get his Bachelors, which is good, but had he stayed in school for all 4 years, he could have been working on his Masters degree by now and provided his family with a decent income. With that being said, I hope Derrick Rose, who had his friend take his Higschool SAT exam, and also didn't even attend any classes at Memphis, will go bankrupt as well because of his stupidity and ignorance. I'm not saying all NBA players will blow their fortune, but in a recent study, it showed that within 5 years after retiring, 60% of players go bankrupt. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1153364/index.htm (read the very bottom). Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said it best. He talked about how many one-and-done kids are primadonnas who are purley driven on making $30 from their rookie contract. Most of them will inevitably blow their savings within 10 years because they lack common sense.
