I already have legal paperwork signed stating I will be buried under my transition name and with female presentation. No one can alter it now or violate the law and pay penalties to a designated charity of my choice. Pre purchasing your funeral and headstone with inscription (no death date of course) based on gender preference is a very smart move if you worry about this as well.

Good idea. But I will probably be cremated, but I know there is a small stone in a park they put. Maybe I can get one of those.

My mother cheated and bought a headstone for me, with the wrong name on it, of course.  She didn't ask me or tell me about it. My sister let it slip.


Good thing I'm not catholic, make it harder to be buried in a catholic cemetary.

Can I just say, it's a bit creepy that you mother has bought you a headstone. Assuming one is not terminally ill, one's mother should not be planning one's funeral.

Wow, mother of the year award here.  UGH!  So sorry.

Hugs,

Not creepy if you knew the background of her decision.  In an odd way, sensible even.

Agreed Jill. Someday she will maybe figure it out, but I'm not holding my breath.
