Where Would You Choose If You Could Be Buried Anywhere In Idaho?

Death is a reality of life that none of us will be able to avoid. Where a person chooses their final resting place is a decision that some make early in life and others chose to let wills do the talking for them.

I had a conversation with my wife the other day about death. I can't seem to make up my mind on whether or not I want to be buried or cremated. As I get older, a burial seems to be what I'm leaning toward. Cremation isn't nearly as expensive as a burial, so I'm still considering that because I don't want to leave any financial burden on my family.

Idaho has many amazing historic cemeteries as well. The Boise Military Cemetery is a magnificent example of one of Idaho's most visually stunning cemeteries.
