On his deathbed, Bob Hope's wife DeFina asked him where he wanted to be buried. Hope replied: 'Surprise me.' Just so . . . it will be your relatives and friends left behind who ensure that you are not relegated to a pauper's grave in a foreign clime. And lest we forget, the task of repatriating mortal remains to the homeland is costly and fraught with complexity.
