Why do Leann's children bury her in the backyard?

Leann has more or less instructed the children, as it is their belief, to act in this manner, given her reaction to her husband Warden's death and funeral. "Never let them paint me and put me on display," she says. This is just one more public custom, a part of life and death that most of us take for granted, one that Leeann rejects.
