Born in Europe, I remember that family and friends always talked about this issue. The overwhelming majority of people wanted to be buried at home in Turkey. How does Pakistanis in Europe/America think about this topic?

Unfortunately, as you likely already know, the transfer of the deceased to ones own country is extremely expansive. In our case, transportation from Europe to Turkey will easily cost several thousand euros. It's sad but not every family can afford this amount of money.

So, to share the costs fairly within the community, Turkish people in Europe set up several "funeral funds" recognized as charitable organizations. You have to get registered to become a member. After this step, you will get at the end of every year a letter from the fund management in which they explain the current financial situation and the number of deceased persons. The amount you have to pay is calculated on the basis of the sum of the projected number of deaths/costs divided by the projected number of members.

Usually, you pay roughly 40 euros at the end of the year. Your children and wife/husband are automatically covered by this fund as along as you're staying a member. Do you have a similar system?

I must say that is a brilliant system!

We also have this exact same system in the UK. It's like a pyramid scheme, as long as there are more people paying in than those dying, it's a sustainable method to cover funeral costs.

In the UK our model covers costs of burial here as well as abroad, based on the choice of the deceaseds family.

What made you dig this up after so long!

---

I want to be buried wherever I die. I don't want to be a burden on those I leave behind and it is better for the deceased to be buried as soon as possible.

Also regarding the ownership of a grave, It varies i think from council to council, I think it's 60 years in my local area. You can renew those rights apparently.

Most people I see try to come back to their villages,cities for burial if they can afford it...

If I die abroad I'd like to be buried in my village near the final resting places of my ancestors...

Yea same.
I would most probably be buried in our Village Chak Ghazi District Hafizabad, where most of my ancestors are buried.
Though i would to be buried under old tree by the canal, but thats reserved for my elders. Guess i have to find a new spot.
