Please let the dying man receive his last wish.

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., will be buried "back where it began," next to his old Navy buddy Chuck Larson--not at Arlington National Cemetery where his father and grandfather are buried.
The Arizona senator, who has been battling an aggressive form of brain cancer for more than a year, wrote in his upcoming memoir: “The Restless Wave” that he wants to be laid to rest “in the cemetery on the Severn (River) in Maryland, back where it began,” according to azcentral.com.
"I want to smell the rose-scented breeze and feel the sun on my shoulders," McCain wrote. "I want to watch the hawks hunt from the sycamore, and then take my leave bound for a place near my old friend Chuck Larson, in the cemetery on the Severn (River), back where it began."

Bad news John. There are no roses in hell. (at least to my knowledge)

Who gives a damn where this guy gets buried?
He’s an old, perpetually ineffective senator who was an awful Presidential candidate a decade ago. It blows my mind that so many people give a shite about him and his perceived importance.

As long as the cemetery has no issue with it I don't see the issue.

Bless his heart. He really believes in the minds of americans that we give a rats arse. I wish him no ill will, but this long goodbye is getting stale.

Well that's what I was attempting - to put the Arlington Cemetery conversations to rest.

Military career
A 1958 graduate of the United States Naval Academy, Larson twice served as Superintendent of the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. He also served as Commander in Chief, United States Pacific Command (CINCPAC). His classmates at the Academy included future U.S. Senator John McCain and Vice Admiral John Poindexter.
Civilian career
Larson was a founder, director and chairman of the board of ViaGlobal Group. As of 2002, he also served on the Northrop Grumman Corporation's Board of Directors and the Board of Esterline Corporation. He also served on three corporate boards in the fields of electrical power generation and distribution, oil exploration and production and international service and construction.
In 2002, after switching parties to become a Democrat, Larson ran unsuccessfully for Lieutenant Governor of Maryland, on the ticket with Democrat Kathleen Kennedy Townsend. He and his wife, Sally, resided in Annapolis until his death.
Larson became an Eagle Scout in 1950 and as an adult was a recipient of the Distinguished Eagle Scout Award from the Boy Scouts of America.[2]
His public service boards include the National Academy of Sciences Committee on International Security and Arms Control, The White House Fellows Foundation, The Board of Regents of the University System of Maryland, The Board of Trustees of the Anne Arundel Health System, Board of Directors of The Atlantic Council and as Chairman of the Board of Directors of the US Naval Academy Foundation.
Larson died of pneumonia at his home in Annapolis, Maryland, after being afflicted with leukemia for two years, on July 26, 2014.[3][4]

I figured he'd have half his remains buried and half cremated so he could fence straddle for eternity.
