Tom - re: bury/plant - us gardeners (LOL) will refer to the putting a plant in the grand as "burying" it. i.e.- "bury it 5 inches deep and cover with peat moss and loam, water well. May be a Canadian thing tho.
plus bury has two syllables as opposed to plant which has one and thus didn't fit the flow of the sentence maybe???
It may not be a funeral train. Could be just takin his old, tired bones across the country to another shore where the seaman can be near the ocean again.
You should write to Gord - see if you get a reply. It won't hurt!
