I recommend it. I have my plot but no headstone. My father died unexpectedly about 10 years ago. There is a small country cemetary nearby so that's where we wanted him burried, and we wanted to start a family area. Turns out there were only 4 spots left in any one area, so we took them to keep the family together. My father in law died unexpectedly a few years later and my wife and I wanted to burry him next to my father, but my (now ex mother, I don't talk to her) threw a fit so my wife and I bought a set of plots nearby. If being able to chose your location and save enough space around you to allow for family to be near by, I strongly recommend getting your plots squared away early. It feels kind of odd, but the cemetary that I used to explore as a kid now includes my father and father in law, an uncle, who I go to visit, and space I walk by, knowing I will be there one day as well. Very sobering. It's a good feeling to have.
