Talk About A Doomed Family!

The Van Erichs (http://www.findagrave.com/php/famous.php?page=name&firstName=&lastName=von+erich)


3 suicides and early death from meningitis.

Looks like Dad, Fritz, had to endure the death of all of his sons. Not to mention Mrs. Van Erich who survives them all.


And you thought you were having a bad day?

How the lots work, they all share one?

[Snee]

Seriously, I&#39;m wondering do people share the same lots in the states like a family thing, or are they all one and a same guy?

A "lot" is a physical space you can reserve for yourself and family members. Several graves can be contained within a single lot.

[Snee]

Roght, and one grave, is that in a plot then (haven&#39;t really studied funeral terminology)? :unsure:

Great find, hobbes :D , they remind me of that family of tightrope walkers: dad died at the end, but only when all of his sons preceded him.
Damn, what&#39;s their name? I&#39;ve seen them plenty of times while crossing skyscrapers? :huh:
