US | Florida Gators Die-Hard Gator Alums May Find Final Resting Place at UF Dedicated Gators want to spend eternity on campus By Nick McMaster Posted Mar 5, 2009 12:15 PM CST Copied Stadium workers spray paint the Florida Gators logo on the sideline at Dolphin Stadium in Miami, Wednesday, Jan. 7, 2009. (AP Photo/Wilfredo Lee) University of Florida alums who want their final resting place to be somewhere on the campus of their alma mater will likely get their wish, the Gainesville Sun reports. A bill that cleared a Florida Senate committee today would allow any of Florida’s state universities to build a columbarium—a mausoleum that houses urns of cremated remains. Alumni could then pay $3,000 to $5,000 to guarantee an eternity on campus. UF receives about one such request a month from dedicated Gators. Of course, some may choose to skip the fee: "Really, somebody could just go and spread their ashes on campus and we wouldn't find out about it," a UF spokesman said.
