At the end of the LA, Chapter 11, it says on the caption below the first picture of cemetery: The Baudilaires are not buried here. (next page: hill, "Or here.") WTF? If the Baud parents died in FIRE, there would be nothing but ashes of them. But, does that mean the Bauds die in B13? It could happen, and we have been warned about it being a bad ending since Book 1, so...the terrible truth? ![:-[](//storage.proboards.com/253263/images/MMskVCJfvkIZiIRNuMud.gif) Sorry if this has been discussed before.

If they died in fire, they wouldn't be buried in a cemetary, which was what Lemony Snicket was saying. Besides, you can bury someone without a corpse. Just get a coffin and a 'memento' and a priest willing to waste his time perform the burial.

I don't knwo about you, but I've never heard of the Baudilaires, but I have heard of the Baudelaires. I don't know anything about their cemetaries though.

But if they're not buried there (or there), that isn't saying that the Baudelaire children will die either. Really, it's completely ambiguous. You could make what you want out of it. Or Handler could, anyway.

Even if you were burnt, you could still be buried, could you not? That's what my mum's friend did, although she was cremated, not killed in a fire.

If you're going to be technical about it, the ashes of the Baudelaire parents are actually buried (or scattered, really) among the remains of their home. This is, of course, unless one of the parents actually did survive. Basically, it's an interesting observation, but it doesn't really prove anything. It's like pointing to a random house in a city and saying, "I don't live here."

We buried the ashes of our pet dog that had to be put down because of cancer, and those were in a special urn. So yeah, you technically can bury ashes. To me, it sounds like the Baudelaires are alive (The parents), so they aren't buried there. (Or there). Of course, I'm most likely wrong, but I think, as do many people, that at least one parent is alive.
