sister's grave

[snowflakes]

May paraan ba para mahanap ang libingan? Nawala kase ang libingan ng sister ko pero matagal na panahon na namin di nahanap. Hinde ko alam bakit hinde na sha hinanap ng parents ko pero gusto ko sha hanapin. Sabi ng mom ko pagbalik daw namin sa libingan ng kapatid ko may iba na daw nakalibing. Ngayon di na nya matandaan kung saan nakapwesto yun dati. Problema pa wala daw death certificate. Natatandaan ko elementary ako ng last ako nakapunta sa sementeryo kung san sha nakalibing.

Do you know the cemetery at the very least? Is it a public cemetery or a private one? Meron bang mga caretakers sa cemetery na yun?

I have a relative who passed away and nilibing sya dun sa "apartment" style na libingan. It was a public cemetery and I believe those types are only "leased" for a certain period of time. So nung malapit nang mag expire yung "lease" na yun (I think about 10 years or so), their close family members decided to have the tomb opened - obviously wala nang masyadong laman yung tomb except yung pieces of bones. So they collected it and they had it re-buried at a private plot in another memorial garden. I believe yung mga hindi kino-collect ng family members or yung mga wala nang bumibisita, the contents of those leased apartment type tombs are thrown in a general pile and incinerated.

Check mo nalang kung may caretakers yung cemetery na pinag libingan nya then see if they can trace kung ano ang ginagawa nila dun sa mga remains ng tombs na hindi kiniclaim.

^^If your mom can still remember kailan namatay yung sister mo, you can also try asking the cemetery caretaker if they have a logbook of sort, baka ma-trace nyo dun.
