The Royal Cemetery, mausoleums & burial customs of the JRF
The discussion about Queen Alia raised this question in my mind. King Hussein built a beautiful tomb/mausoleum for her but he was buried elsewhere. Is there a separation in death so spouses are not buried side by side? I would be interested in a response from someone from the area in terms of what is rule or custom? The real question is where will Queen Noor be buried and will it even be in Jordan? I suppose a lot depends on where her life goes on from here. Is it considered OK to cremate in Arabic countries? I apologize for my ignorance and the perhaps maudlin topic but am truly curious.
Thank you for any insights,
Mary Shawn
