Retirement and Funeral



I asked my parents what role they wanted me to play in their lives when the got old and they said that they wanted me to take care of them. My mom said that she did not want to go to a retirement home. She wants to stay around family and friends she doesn’t want to be around people she doesn’t know. My dad wants to go to El Salvador when he gets old because he says that that’s where all of his childhood friends are and that’s where my grandma lives.
When my mom retires she says that she would like to travel around the world and see new and different thing. She said that she would like to live in peace and not have to worry about anything. I asked them where they would like to get buried and they both have different answers, my mom said that she would like to be buried here in California so that we can go visit her anytime we want and my dad said that he would like to be buried in El Salvador because that’s where everyone he knows lives. Both of m parents would like to be buried not cremated.
My parents don’t have any burial plots. They have not planned anything for their funeral. I asked them what they did when my aunt and my grandpa died and they said that for my grandpa they had to buy an emergency burial plot because they didn’t expect my grandpa to die so soon and for my aunt they already had her burial plot because the doctor had already told her that she was going to die. I also asked them if they had a will and they said no but they were hoping to leave us the house.
