I think places to visit the dead are overrated. I've never been to my brother and dad's grave site (dead 24 and 9 years respectively). Truth be known, I'm not even 100% sure my dad's name is on the plaque.
I think of them often and I think that's good enough. Being in a cemetary, where it seems rude to laugh out loud, is not conducive to telling funny stories about them and whatnot.
I will be cremated and maybe have my ashes scattered in some random place so that my family never feels the need to come and visit "me".
With regard to the gender of doctors, my latest GP is female. I haven't thought much about it but I think I prefer her checking my nuts and prostate than a male doctor. But it's not a real strong preference or anything.
