In the episode, Kris expressed her need to have everything organised and buttoned up, citing her slight obsession with order and neatness. She explained her rationale for wanting the family mausoleum, stating that it would alleviate any panic and uncertainty in the event of their passing. Kris, aged 70, emphasised the importance of making these decisions now so that her family can be at ease in the future.
Accompanied by her daughter, Khloé Kardashian, Kris visited a cemetery to explore burial options. During a FaceTime call with her other daughters, Kris proposed the idea of a mausoleum, highlighting her belief that as the head of the family, it is her responsibility to ensure everything is in place. She shared her thoughts on the significance of where her earthly body would rest, expressing her desire to make things easier for her family members.
Khloé, on the other hand, expressed her preference to be cremated. Kris revealed that she could not go through with cremation as Kylie, her youngest daughter, opposed the idea. The family discussed the logistics of a shared plot, suggesting the possibility of relocating Robert Kardashian Sr., highlighting the complexities and sensitivities involved in making such decisions.
Reflecting on her past experiences, Khloé opened up about the challenges she faced when her father passed away when she was just 19. She shared her desire to have everything organised for her own children, True and Tatum, to avoid similar difficulties in the future. Khloé’s preference for cremation stemmed from her belief that being kept close to her loved ones in a jar would be more comforting than being buried in the ground.
The Kardashian-Jenner family members each voiced their preferences on burial versus cremation during the episode. While Kris advocated for a mausoleum, Khloé opted for cremation, and Kourtney expressed her wish to be buried. Kim, however, remained indifferent, stating that she would be open to either option. Kendall chose not to discuss the topic, as she found it uncomfortable and did not wish to dwell on thoughts of death.
Despite the differing opinions and spirited discussions within the family, Kris remained resolute in her plans for the mausoleum. She humorously mentioned that she would be enjoying a martini in heaven, observing the ongoing family debates even after her passing. The episode shed light on the Kardashians’ candid conversations about mortality, showcasing their unique blend of humour, honesty, and familial bond.
As the Kardashians continue to captivate audiences with their reality show, ‘The Kardashians’, viewers can expect more engaging and thought-provoking moments from the iconic family. Kris Jenner’s initiative to plan for the family’s final resting place serves as a reminder of the importance of open communication and preparation for life’s eventualities, even in the midst of fame and fortune.
