Last month I was in Jerusalem with my wife. We were there about a half a week when she became ill. Two days after she got sick, she passed away.
The embassy there was a great help to me, they were supportive and gave me a choice as to what my options were with her body. They told me I could either fly it back to the states for $7,000 and be able to bury her at close to home, or for $500 keep her there in the Holy Land. My wife was a devout catholic, and I knew if given the choice, she most likely would have pick to be buried there. But I also knew I would miss out on being able to visit her grave regularly. I asked the embassy to give me a day to think it over.
The next day I returned to the embassy and they asked if I decided on what to do. I said "I did a lil research, and about 2,000 yrs ago a man lived here, died here, was buried here, and 3days later he came back from the dead... I cant risk that with her"
