Dutch woman dies next to own grave

AMSTERDAM, Nov 1 (Reuters) A Dutch woman, who had meticulously planned her own funeral after the death of her husband last year, died next to the grave in Amsterdam where she wanted to be buried, a newspaper reported.

The 65-year-old widow probably died of a heart attack while she was visiting the family grave where her name, but no date, was already inscribed, De Telegraaf daily reported today.

The woman was carrying a bag with her containing her will when she died and had already organised details of her funeral including the music she wanted played, the paper said.
