1. Be best.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

2. Nothing says "I was special!" like being buried in your ex-husband's back yard (nt)

[CottonBear]

10. It's not even a backyard, it's on the edge of a golf course.

The Orange menace doesn’t even own a real house as far as I know. He just lives in golf club houses and resort hotels. What an awful place to live and be buried.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

15. Lol I know where it is ... but it LOOKS like someone's back yard from the photo (nt)

[jaxexpat]

27. It's over near the landscape shed, just behind the lawn and plant clippings compost pile.

It's peaceful there, except when they crank up the skid loader to turn the pile. But that's only once a month, still it's more often than visitation by the relatives. RIP, quickly buried carcass with the usual signs of autopsy, surprising and curious in their absence.

But Ivana's not there. Her debut will come after Lake Meade subsides another 20' or so.

[onethatcares]

3. needs a few

dead red painted trees covered with crown vetch.

[CottonBear]

11. That would be perfect.

I suppose we now know what her children really thought of her because, good grief, it’s awful.

[Boomerproud]

4. Ouch!

Whatever, they deserve all the pain and scorn.

[Frustratedlady]

5. I hope this is photo-shopped, or whatever they call it.

That is unbelievable.

Well, at least it isn't a parking lot/cement steps.

[CottonBear]

7. Nope. It's real: really cheap and tacky and just awful. NT

[CottonBear]

6. The Daily Fail article headline is "Fairway to Heaven."

Good lord, that gravesite is so tacky and cheap and totally without class.

WTF? Who gets buried on a golf course?

Look at the condition of (and lack of) turf grass. It’s a freaking golf course. If nothing else, it should have halfway decent turf grass.

Wait, it’s TFG’s property, so of course it’s total crap.

[calimary]

26. OMG!!!

I’m sorry -

[NJCher]

32. I guess you must have read

that description a worker wrote of the kitchens at Mar-a-Lago. There was something about silver duct tape holding a frig together and greasy terracotta tile floors. Other "amenities" I cannot recall.

[Totally Tunsie]

40. This is difficult to believe...

If this was truly Mar-a-Loco, they would be using GOLD duct tape.

[not fooled]

72. Another item red don launches into the rough

and then forgets about.

[NoMoreRepugs]

8. Is that for real? A Walmart headstone??

[Mosby]

35. It's probably temporary

It takes some time to make the headstone.

[Midnight Writer]

71. That way the groundskeeper can mow right over it with a tractor.

I can imagine the birds there singing "Cheap! Cheap! Cheap!"

[Arazi]

83. Oh I'm sure driving over it with his golf cart is in Trump's plan

[Baitball Blogger]

9. Crazy.

How did they go around ordinances to put a dead body on a golf course?

[CottonBear]

13. TFG is illegally using the Presidential Seal at the golf course for the Saudi event.

I somehow doubt he asked for permission to bury his ex-wife, when he’s illegally using the presidential seal and tried overturn an election and rule as a fascist dictator.

[onethatcares]

16. he probably has a contract

to pay himself for maintenance and landscaping into eternity that he'll use to further reduce that 700.00 tax bill each year.

[Nevilledog]

53. Seen some discussion this was done for a tax break

Link to tweet

[paleotn]

12. It's a wonder Ivana got that much.

[onethatcares]

14. mite be part of the

post - nup.

She gets a slice of his mortgaged property.

[PatSeg]

19. She has three children

Surely they could have done better for their mother.

[Harker]

31. That's what I was thinking. n/t

[paleotn]

61. Could have, but they're Trumps....

It's all about them, not mom or anyone else.

[PatSeg]

87. That is true

If they bother to give their father a decent sendoff, it will only be because he was President. Of course, if he ends up being convicted of crimes, maybe he won't even get a funeral.

They are exactly the people that their parents raised them to be.

[OMGWTF]

64. Such a cold, heartless grave marker too. Shouldn't is say "Loving Mother" blah blah?

And not just date born and date of death.

[PatSeg]

86. Yeah, I was thinking the same thing

I would have expected to see at least a "Loving Mother" on the marker. I'm surprised they even bothered with a funeral. Probably just did it for the publicity. What a heartless bunch.

[kskiska]

17. Won't the property eventually go up for sale?

I don't suppose the entire family would want to be buried there. What would the new owners do? I recall that line that Jonathan Winters uttered in "The Loved One," "There's got to be a way to get those stiffs off my property!"

[KPN]

22. Jonathan Winters! That made me smile. He was such a crack up. I

just loved him and his quirky sense of humor.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

43. The late Robin Williams stated that...

Jonathan Winters was his role model in his early days of comedy.

[kskiska]

79. They were good friends, too.

Two peas in a pod.

[nolabear]

56. The Loved One scarred me as a child. And in the best way!

I hope Rod Steiger’s Mr. Joyboy and his horrifying mother were as cringy-wonderful to other kids as they were to me.

[peggysue2]

18. I don't have an opinion on Ivanka Trump

But this is damn sad. When I read the original headline, I thought it was a joke--Ivana being buried on a frigging golf course.

This picture makes it worse, so desolate. If I were Melania, I'd definitely have something in my will about my burial wishes.

[Traildogbob]

20. Remove all the stairs

Where ever she stays. Make em slides.

[peggysue2]

29. LOL!!

Grim but not a bad idea.

[trusty elf]

21. more Melania landscaping....

[KPN]

24. Lol.

[NJCher]

34. and all over a mushroom!

eom

[central scrutinizer]

23. In Oregon, burying someone not in a recognized graveyard

Is difficult. Lots of restrictions and paperwork. Not that TFG ever worried about stuff like that. I wonder if he made Ivana dig the hole herself so it’d be ready when needed.

[Ilsa]

25. Right after she died, they should have brought landscapers in

to plan the cemetery and get some nice plants, wrought iron benches, etc. before Ivana was buried. I hope the area will be fenced off so no one plays through!

[sarge43]

28. So Bevis, Butthead and Ivankette are ok with this?

Figures.

Trash.

[iluvtennis]

30. It disgusts me that Ivana's children allowed their mom to be vuried on a golf course.

...more photos at the link

[Mosby]

38. Maybe it's a family plot.

A lot of rich people have private burial areas.

[llmart]

44. The article said it is a family plot.

I believe it even mentioned that the orange one is supposed to be buried there, but I highly doubt he'd settle for that.

Even if it is a family plot, who in the everliving hell does this, especially if they are a so-called "real estate tycoon"?

[getagrip_already]

52. he will want arlington, with full military honors....

An eternal flame, solid gold headstone, horse with backwards boots.

As big and gawdy as t can be. He may even put it in the middle of a putting green - with flag - at arlington.

[llmart]

63. Not if we have massive protests against it.

That would dishonor all the rightful veterans who put their lives on the line for this country, not just avoiding std's with his bone spurs.

[getagrip_already]

67. I don't know what the protocols are, but...

I believe as an ex-potus he is entitled to an arlington grave site.

Nancy made a hell of a spectacle out of ronnies funeral procession. That will pale to trumpies.

[llmart]

82. Yeah, I know that but...

if his fat, orange body is allowed to lie in state in the Capitol, I will be fuming!!

[Warpy]

58. It might have been her wish to be buried there

so that every summer when TFG was in residence at Bedbugminster, he'd be visiting her grave. Ditto the kids. Otherwise, she'd just have been forgotten in some boneyard nobody would ever visit after the funeral.

He was probably cool with it, walking all over her in death like he walked all over her in life.

[Mozeltov Cocktail]

69. First hole... first wife😁

[Sogo]

76. Next to an old railroad track??

Good grief!!

[mercuryblues]

33. What I don't understand is why

she didn't have her funeral pre-planned? I guess it is a step above donating her body to a body farm

In case you're wondering what a body farm is... Not for the faint of heart.

https://allthatsinteresting.com/body-farms

[NJCher]

37. trumps

Think they are immortal and immune from prosecution.

[Pinback]

70. Thanks for the link

Kinda creepy, but then so is having your body embalmed and preserved as long as possible in an expensive sealed case that does nothing for the ecosystem or for scientific research.

[nini]

36. Why is the headstone upside down?

Not buying this is real. But this isn’t shocking either if it is.

[3825-87867]

39. I guess there's no room...

in the endzone at Giant Stadium?

[ashredux]

41. Really, the is both sad and sick....damn Sick

[Snarkoleptic]

45. Maybe we can crowdfund a headstone w/ this on it-

[dalton99a]

65. +1

[Marthe48]

46. Golf joke

A guy was playing golf on a course near a highway. As he stood on the green, a funeral procession passed by. The guy paused his shot, removed his cap, and stood silently as the procession passed by. One of the golfers waiting for his turn remarked, "That's was such a remarkable show of respect!" And the guy replies, "Well, we were married 15 years."

[IronLionZion]

47. One would think her children would want better for their mom

but apparently not

[Mozeltov Cocktail]

48. Trump is charging a "fee" to view the grave...

Can't make this shit up, and for sure there is no bottom to his greed and depravity.

Someone on twitter wrote (I wish I could give attribution, I can't find him) that the only difference between Jim Jones and Donald Trump is that Trump would have charged for the Kool Aid...

[iluvtennis]

75. Wow, what an evil cretin.

BTW, welcome to DU @Mozeltov Cocktail

[nuxvomica]

49. What happens when he sells the golf course?

Do they dig her up? It's sounding more and more like he will be having financial issues that may require he sell.

[JohnQFunk]

50. I can't blame the Trumps for keeping her grave on private property

The former guy has understandably made far too many enemies for the public to have access to Ivana's grave.

But even with very short notice, a cheap-looking paving stone? Tacky.

And the splotchy lawn? Time to call…

[llmart]

51. Why here?

Was Potter's Field all filled up?

Did they buy the coffin at Wal-Mart also?

What a sick family that is.

[greatauntoftriplets]

54. They at least could have shelled out for some sod.

[Emile]

55. Its legal now to be buried on golf courses?

[Sky Jewels]

57. They're charging her estate Bedminster membership fees!

Link to tweet

?s=20&t=5f5cOQmWYMrKQAyfkpfoSg

[IggleDuer]

60. Is that a lifetime membership????

n/t

[Sky Jewels]

77. Yes, plus for all eternity.

[Vinca]

59. It's only a matter of time before there's a flag and a hole there. Fore!

[area51]

62. Mel certainly knows how to dig a grave.

[not fooled]

73. Hahahahahahahahaha

Great catch! She sure looks happy.

[Robert of Locksley]

66. How do we even know she's actually buried there at all?

My honest opinion?

I don't even think she's buried there - the kids would never stand for it.

It's more likely that she was transported in ice down to Florida in some grand Mausoleum next to future plots for her kids and ex-husband.

Who's actually buried there? No one. Or some poor immigrant woman who died while working at one of Trump's many establishments - heck, maybe even a guy Trump shot on Fifth Avenue.

Why? New Jersey law dictates that you can't seize property with a burial site on it - this is all to protect Trump's holdings in case things go really bad for him in court.

Yeah, it sounds like a conspiracy theory, but I wouldn't put ANYTHING past these guys anymore...

[Pepsidog]

68. They went all out I see. Any self respecting billionaire would have a landscape crew there making

the cemetery look beautiful even if it’s temporary. I know she died suddenly and she is buried at his NJ golf course, but come on. Just like his crappy buffets at his old casinos and hotels.

[hatrack]

74. If Melanoma gave a fuck about Christmas, she could put up decorations every December . . .

.

[RANDYWILDMAN]

78. Such a cheap burial plot and headstone

it is like a 30 letter minimum ?

[Brainfodder]

80. Speechless.

OK, if that is accurate, taken suddenly and the gross over the top above ground all gold fountain combo headstone just hasn't been delivered and/or then waiting for the folks to be paid to do the install?

[LudwigPastorius]

81. Did Carl Spackler do the interment?

[IrishAfricanAmerican]

84. Beat me to it!

Great minds and all that.

[IcyPeas]

85. what are the other square patches of dry grass next to her grave?

is something buried under there that's making the grass dry up?
