Donald Trump Wants To Build 548-Grave Cemetery At Bedminster Golf Club

BEDMINSTER, N.J. (CBSNewYork) -- Donald Trump is considering putting a 548-grave cemetery at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster.

He is seeking approval for plans to build the nearly 10-acre cemetery next to the 13th hole.

Club membership would include a final resting place at the cemetery, which would also be open to military veterans, 1010 WINS reported.

"I think that's a little bit strange," one golfer said. "Golf and dying are two very different concepts, and I never thought of the combination of both of them. So it's unique. Golf is fun and it has very little to do with dying."

"I love the concept," another said.

Trump had initially planned his final resting place at the golf course, but earlier this year said he wanted to be buried in Florida instead.

The Bedminster Land Use Board will hold another hearing on the proposal on Aug. 6.
