Josh Powell Burial

[Cubby]

Wondering if some of you local posters know anything about the Woodlawn Abbey Cemetery in Puyallup? From my Google search, it appears to be the town's only private cemetery.

Perhaps the donations could go towards helping the Coxes move the boys there instead. Just a thought...

Thank you. I wasn't aware there was only one private cemetery in Puyallup.

I hope the family does what is right.
Moving the boys is to sad for me to think of.
Let them rest in peace.
Do not let jp rest in peace!

Wow i hope there is just a HUGE amount of public pressure that wins out concerning where josh will be buried. In my opinion josh needs to be in banishment & torment......far far away from susans sons....spiritually, literally, figuratively, and symbolicly......forever.

But a part of me wont be surprised if he does end up buried near them.
Those who have eyes to see will see, and those who are blind will remain blind even in the reality of the evil behavior josh displayed by the event of killing his own sons.

All of the past two years with the powell family has been disturbing at best, there has to be a triumph of good here....somewhere, somehow!

I do believe charlie and braden are in heaven with their mommy susan along with Jesus, but some part longs for good to triumph on earth also, concerning them.

I hope this all gets sorted out.

I don't understand wanting to bury him at all. The murderer clearly wanted to be cremated, why not make his final act just that. Why would you want a site for a murderer? You know it will just be defaced in some ugly way within hours. Why would you want anything that reminds anyone that a family member is a multiple murderer in town? I don't understand. This is the nicest thing I could say.

If JP is buried in the same cemetery as his boys, it would not surprise me in the least if someone choose to take JP out of that cemetery in the same manner he took out the boys. :innocent: Probably destroying more than just JP's grave.


The P family should really consider the public outrage when deciding where he should be buried.

No, I am not suggesting anyone do this. I'm just saying there are some crazy people out there who probably would and would not care about the repercussions.

I fully agree, well said. I'll add, I don't think there would be any problem with the expense of reburial if it came to that. I'm certain donations would pour in so quickly there would be an excess of funds which could be used in other ways to remember the boys.

Thanks Cubby! There's no doubt that the general public and us sleuths would rally around this cause. Those babies should not lay in rest just yards away from their murderer, that's just wrong. If I win the lottery, I will pay for relocating Charlie and Braden myself, if need be.

I am hoping and praying that the P's have a change of heart, moment of clarity, something to change their mind from going forward with this plan. (not really holding my breathe)

MOO

Property in a cemetery is owned by the property owner be it private or publicly owned property. When you purchase a lot you own the rights to the property for inurnment or interment. You don't own the actual real estate. Just the right to use it in perpetuity for the purpose stated on the deed. The property is not actually deeded out at the registry of deeds like real property would be. You don't get a tax bill on the property. The owner of the cemetery does.

I know years ago that wasn't the case and some old deeds were not conveyed properly. But in today's world that is how cemetery property is sold. Yes you have a right to resell the use of the lots. But the cemetery has to be involved and will issue a new use deed.

If the<modsnip> Powell's gets away with this and do plant JP in the vicinity of the kids, I hope that the Crime Stopper donations keep rolling in and are used to move Charlie and Braden to a private cemetery with a plot for Susan next to them and a beautiful memorial. It may be the only way to resolve this in the end. I just can't stand the thought of that evil, selfish, murdering JP anywhere near the kids. His sick reign of control needs to end here.

Well, for a family (or parts of the family) who complained tirelessly about the media, Internet and posting of opinions, they sure know how to throw themselves right back into the spotlight..and NOT in a good way. This latest "stunt" (and I do believe it's just that) has made national news today.

The Cox family was so generous and gracious when they put their feelings aside and allowed the P family to attend the services for the boys, now the P's pull this? Disgusting!!

Give the Cox family and those boys some PEACE for pete's sake!! :maddening:

CrimeStoppers buys plots to keep Josh Powell from boys' graves

SEATTLE -- A lawyer for the parents of missing Utah mom Susan Powell says they have been told her husband will not be buried in the same cemetery as the two sons he killed in an explosive house fire.

Attorney Steve Downing says he was informed by Josh Powell's estranged sister, Jennifer Graves, that her mother would put out a statement Thursday announcing the decision.

Downing says Susan's parents, Charles and Judy Cox, had threatened to move the boys' casket if Josh Powell were interred nearby.

I just heard on KTVU-channel 2 in S.F. that the coward will not be buried in the same cemetery as the boys. I hope this is true!

Dr. Fessel, sorry, I didn't see the sentence at the end of your post, stating the same thing....

Hurrah. Good triumphs over evil at least a little bit in this case.

 

[momtective]

Finally, some good news in this terrible tragedy. Now I wish the Powell family would quietly fade away and let the Coxes find some much needed peace.

This could be interesting. "Jennifer Graves, that her mother would put out a statement Thursday announcing the decision."

I'll believe it when I see it.

I do not trust anything that the Powell family says, at this point.

That is my opinion.

Very interesting if JP's mom or Jennifer has control of the remains. Or maybe they were somehow able to talk some sense into Alina.

I'm trying to tell myself that the effort to have JP buried near the kids might not be an "eff you," but more evidence that Alina and/or the other sibs are still struggling to reconcile the JP they, inexplicably, loved and supported with the sub-human he actually was. Not that their reasons matter; it just cannot be allowed to happen.

On this morning's local news (Seattle/Tacoma), it was announced the Crimestoppers has received $5,000 to purchase plots, and a local radio station raised $18,000! And it was also stated that this cemetary, being municipal, would have to sell a plot to the Powells, but could dictate which plot it would be.

I believe Ann Bremner is going ahead in seeking a restraining order as well.

The news of the donations made me cry more than anything else so far; I guess the only way we can stand living in a world that contains horrors like this case, is knowing that it also contains angels like Ed Troyer, Paul Pastor, and all the good and loving people who are helping in any way they can to support the Coxes.

I've liked Ed Troyer for a long time - he's a pretty high-visibility guy up here. What a good person.

The Powells have no shame. <modsnip>. jmo

Well thank goodness someone in that family is displaying some good sense and maybe even a little class.

But now the next thing to worry about is if JP is cremated. Guess where the ashes will be dumped. And for that there will be no way to stop it. All they would need would be a day when no one was around.

For that reason I hope the Cox's go ahead and purchase plots near the boys and put up a headstone. As a reminder to the P's that until Mom can be near, that Grandpop and Grandma will be close.

Interesting. With pops in the slammer, the mother that he alienated from his children will be the one with the legal right to make the decision on where he is buried? Do I understand that correctly? Or will something like a will written by the murderer override his estranged mothers decisions?


I can't help but be a little leery here considering the alienation and estrangement within the P family.

Good Points. Legally wouldn't Mom and Pops be JP's next of kin? And if Mom takes an action that Pops doesn't like, he would have to sue her to stop her. Which he could do I guess, but it might be difficult with him in the slammer.

Good question about whether or not JP left a legal will. Wonder if we could get any reporters checking on that? Did he leave a will and who are the excuters if he did?

Okay Guys - it's time to step up and get our manners back in place. No more name calling, no more giving members of the public ideas (you know what I mean) and no more bashing.

Let's just hope the Powell's follow through on the latest news. In the meantime, we need to bring our focus back to Susan, the boys and the Cox family. We need to show them the respect they deserve and we need to do our best to honor the message from Mr. Cox regarding this horrible and very tragic situation.

Thanks,

Salem
