I’m reading an autobiography of a lady who migrated from Indian Punjab to Balochistan. She had lot to share about Punjab, but when she got chance to visit her ancestral home in Indian Punjab, she refused on the context that she wanted to keep the image of her home intact.
She writes at one place ’ We are divided generation and we have to bury in two divided graves’.
Is it really difficult to decide for place of burial, when you lived your life in two different places?
What do you think what is more preferred by people when it comes to burial place. Place of birth? or place where you passed major part of your life due to migration / immigration for whatever reasons.
living people have right over dead man's assets [inheritance]. so, keeping that in mind, as per Islamic teachings, money should NOT be unnecessarily spent on transporting the dead body over long distances. . the entire earth [along with the universe] is Allah's domain so we must bury our dead wherever they die [whichever city/town/village].
Apart from religious teachings, people do have a wish to get buried in their own land. After all, we got concept of aabai qabristan like aabi ghar or shehr.

the whole concept of burying in the aabaaii qabristan is the idea that the whole clan will rise up from the same spot on the day of Hashr so they can meet their loved ones.
i think it's an erroneous assumptiom because on that Day no one will be in a position to look for relatives...they will have to worry about their peshii in front of Allah. if Allah wishes to reunite the families on the Day of Hashr, distances between graves mean nothing to Him...He can reunite anyone with anyone else, no matter how far apart they physically happen to be.

jazbaat have no place in deen.
We are discussing desires. deen is something natural and that doesn't ask you to have desires which are naturally in-built in humans.
Your point of transportation costs could be valid and most people don't opt for burying in homeland due to these reasons, but living people have desires. Its like giving someone choice to chose between the two viable options. The question is if someone got choice and had resources, would they want to be buried in their homeland?
You can gain knowledge, like Eric bana Says in Black hawk down, Once a single bullet goes through you head, politics and all that **** goes right out of window

I would add sentimental reason as well.
My grandmother wasn't born in Lahore, but she had reserved a place next to my grandfather's grave in Lahore. I think it's quite sweet and haunting at the same time.
I don't know where I'd like to be buried, never really thought about that.
After death, does these thing matter, personally, I don't care if after death, I am buried or thrown away in river :)
But people do have perception and desires how they are treated after death. There is something that makes people to wish that their raakh is thrown in Ganga. Babar's will to transfer his dead body to Kabul, Jehangir's wish to be buried in Lahore (though he was died and first buried somewhere near Kashmir) say that not only common men, but the elite got a preference to be buried at a particular place.
why kaur why?
Maxeed explain karain…
