A question. Why is tRump's first wife buried in a coffin when she was cremated? Cremains take up very little room and

[debm55]

are placed in a vessel to give to the family. They can also be buried but very little room taken. Also, the burial ground is in very poor condition. What else is in that coffin? Thank you

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. Good questions, my dear debm55!

There are those who suspect that some things are in the coffin.

We don't know what.

I think the suspicions are correct.

[debm55]

4. Thank you. CaliforniaPeggy.

[Submariner]

2. Maybe coverup physical evidence of

dying other than falling down the stairs of her own accord.

Keeps her story earlier in their marriage of being raped by her husband from being repeated by her...silent....forever? Just a hunch.

[debm55]

6. But she was cremated so evidence could be determined from the cremains. But why a coffin and what else is in the coffin

16. I've never understood

The suggestion that something was amiss with Ivana's death. She was a seventy-something woman with a steep and dangerous staircase. She fell. I just cannot see any value in her family or ex offing her. To all intents, she got on well with him and her kids in later years.

The coffin? Probably full of top secret files to be auctioned off to the highest bidder.

[debm55]

24. Well neither the kids not the Pig.have much respect for her now. No cut grass. no flowers.

[AllyCat]

30. 3 things come to mind:

1) 6 pallbearers clearly laboring under the weight of cremains in a coffin

2) Her NDA was due to expire days or weeks after her accident

3) Pedotrump is a known liar, rapist, thief, and felon.

[Blue Full Moon]

47. Cremation to remove any chance of forensic evidence

[Ocelot II]

3. Because in New Jersey you get a tax break if you designate property as a cemetery.

So they buried her at Bedminster and called it a cemetery for tax purposes. https://www.businessinsider.com/ivana-trump-gravesite-trump-national-golf-club-tax-break-2022-7

[debm55]

8. But why use a coffin? Her cremains could very easily be put in a vessel. So what else is in the coffin? Sorry, I have

relatives that were cremated and they did not need the space inside the coffin. What else is in the coffin?

[Ocelot II]

10. Maybe to have a legal cemetery you have to have a corpse to bury it in.

[debm55]

22. True.

[CincyDem]

44. I'll offer a more trumpian opinion...

I agree there’s something fishy about her being buried on the 4th fairway (or wherever it is).

And the tax break is real.

But I think control of the real contents is the real reason. Can’t get to it with a search warrant, need an exhumation order…which means family notification which means court fight which means time to relocate “the stuff”.

It also means access to its contents if he wants it. Because he owns the cemetery, he can dig her up when and as often s he wants. Can’t do that if it’s a real cemetery.

So yeah…I’m with you 100%

[jmowreader]

40. Nope

This is the definitions statute for New Jersey cemetery operations:

https://law.justia.com/codes/new-jersey/title-45/section-45-27-2/

"Cemetery" means any land or place used or dedicated for use for burial of human remains, cremation of human remains, or disposition of cremated human remains.

This is an interesting statute:

https://law.justia.com/codes/new-jersey/title-45/section-45-27-6/

45:27-6 Ownership, operation of cemetery, forms authorized.

6. A cemetery established after December 1, 1971 shall be owned or operated only by a governmental entity, a religious corporation or organization or by a cemetery company organized in accordance with this act.

L.2003,c.261,s.6.

According to the AI thing that comes up in Google when you feed in "does Donald Trump own a New Jersey cemetery company," he doesn't currently own a cemetery company, he is planning to start one on the Bedminster property with a 284-plot main section, but the state cemetery board hasn't signed off on it yet. So, the land Ivana is buried on is not currently tax-advantaged.

I wonder what would happen if someone were to slip into Trump's golf course in the middle of the night with a cement truck, dig down a couple feet over her grave and fill the hole with wet concrete...

[Polly Hennessey]

5. Deb, remember we are speaking of the tRump corrupt morons.

Perhaps some of the Epstein files or worse are keeping Wife #1 company. 🤭🤣😇

[debm55]

7. That is what I was thinking. Tapes, pictures, videos, names of the the child abusers.

[meadowlander]

23. Surely there are easier and more effective/permanent ways to get rid of that sort of thing than

hoping your ex-wife dies so you bury them in her coffin.

[Princess Turandot]

9. Snopes says that there's no evidence that she was cremated. It started on twitter as part of the buried documents stuff.

There's No Evidence Ivana Trump Was Cremated

With all of the property that Trump has/had access to, why would he choose to hide anything that way?

[debm55]

11. Because it is easy way to hide things. I wouldn't put it past that a-hole and his family.Thank you for the information

from Snopes.

[Deuxcents]

12. I've been of the opinion that there are lots of files of all sorts in that coffin so they would not be exposed.

The family has to give permission to exhume and they will most likely never give it so, they could be, whatever they are, gone and we’ll never know. It’s like a mob mentality to come up with a plan like that

[RoseTrellis]

17. No, they don't

If their is reasonable, articulated suspicion of a crime, a search warrant will be issued, and it won’t matter what the family feels like. Period. Just because it’s a grave doesn’t mean shit.

[Disaffected]

25. A coffin can be exhumed with a court order.

The entire notion that someone in Trump's orbit would chose a coffin to hide incriminating evidence is silly IMO.

[jmowreader]

41. Especially since there are OTHER things that could be hidden in there...

...like the 500 pounds of Top Secret information he hasn't turned over to FSB yet. It's a perfect place for a dead drop since no one ever goes out there at night.

[CincyDem]

45. Dup'ed your post before I saw it. Exhumation higher bar than search warrant for sure.

[montanacowboy]

13. THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!

We have been saying this since she died. I remember the day of the funeral when the pall bearers were carrying that casket into the church that they could hardly carry it, tell me that casket isn't filled with top secret documents and god knows what else.
Also have a lot of questions on her death - she fell down the steps?

Not usually a conspiracy theorist but I have always though this stunk to high heaven. And burying her in the middle of a field i.e. golf course?? This is not right and when he is in jail that coffin needs to be open.

[debm55]

21. I agree.

[Disaffected]

27. I don't comprehend the logic that thinks

a coffin would be a good place to hide "top secret" documents (since they can be so easily exhumed).

And how would they be retrieved later (assuming they were intended to be retrieved or they would have been simply destroyed) without drawing notice (especially being located on a golf course)?

[debm55]

37. IMO I think it has more to do with Epstein and abusing young girls.

[Greg_In_SF]

14. My Grandmother

was cremated and then buried next to my Grandfather.

They made a plan and stuck to it.

[debm55]

20. Oh yes, you can bury cremains. But they are placed in a small box. Not one the size of a coffin. MIL and FIL were both

cremated and buried next to each other in a their separate plots. You don't need a full size coffin to bury cremains.

[meadowlander]

26. Trump's not the kind of person to miss an opportunity to show off his wealth with an expensive coffin.

It's not an impressive enough visual to have the family carrying a little box. It's all about creating the most impressive spectacle for him.

I'm sorry but this kind of speculation makes us look silly. The only reason to bury something with a body (as opposed to deleting or burning files) would be if you plan to retrieve it later.

And if you plan to retrieve something later, there are less suspicious places to hide them that don't require grave robbing in the middle of resort that the public has access to. How is he going to explain away the big hole/dirt pile that suddenly appears one day next to her grave when he could just get a safe deposit box in Switzerland or something?

[debm55]

28. If I thought it was silly, I wouldn't have asked. I don't put anything over that ped.

[Greg_In_SF]

29. Sorry

I should have clarified that her urn was buried in a full size coffin. They had their plots and coffins all picked out years in advance.

[debm55]

38. Thank you. Greg_In_SF

[greatauntoftriplets]

15. All the stolen TOP SECRET files fit better that way.

[debm55]

35. True or tapes and video of his abusing young girls.

[CanonRay]

18. Three little girls Trump raped and murdered?

[debm55]

19. With him, who knows.

[No Vested Interest]

31. As an older woman myself, I have long wondered why Ivana's 3 adult children did not protect their mother

better, by having a person in the home to see that she was protected and cared for adequately.
They certainly had the money to pay for such care. And being a public figure (sort of), she likely had more activity and visitors in her life than the average 70-plus person.
She may have been a stubborn older woman, perhaps, and her children may have memories that are less than favorable of being raised by her.

[debm55]

34. That is possibly true. Thank you.

[Deuxcents]

42. I wonder why the adult children don't tend to the site of her burial

[sarisataka]

32. The assertion that she was cremated is called by Snopes "A baseless conspiracy theory"

So the first step is, someone must produce evidence that she was cremated.

[debm55]

33. Well, I only have knowledge of what I read here.

[msongs]

36. it's cheaper and saves $$?

[debm55]

39. Agree, I don't know of anyone that was cremated and placed in a coffin

[2naSalit]

43. And don't forget...

That casket took TEN pallbearers and they almost dropped it coming out of the church.

Most humans in a casket take around six pallbearers.

[flvegan]

46. Considering Trump stacked boxes of confidential files in the bathroom

and elsewhere around Mar a Lago, and only moved them around when caught, is enough "proof" that he's not terribly concerned about hiding document evidence in which he has possession. I wouldn't be surprised if something/someone else isn't also buried there, but I doubt that it's files/documents of any kind.

[PCIntern]

48. I want to say something about this:

“She fell down the steps.”

This lady was a world-class skier. No one ever mentions this ironic fact. I for one don’t believe that she fell.

In the film Silverado, a young Kevin Costner plays Scott Glenn’s character’s younger brother. Toward the end, the little boy who was rescued following his kidnapping says to Glenn’s character that (Costner) was dead and he thought that because he “fell off his horse”. Glenn repeats it and smiles.

The reason he smiles is because the Costner character is a gifted gunfighter and horse rider and Glenn knew that there was no way he would “fall” off his horse. I feel the same about Ivana.
