Donate Graves

If you own graves that you will not use and you are unable to find a buyer for them, you can donate them to a charity or nonprofit.  It is possible to find a buyer for graves you are trying to sell but it takes time and patience, and most likely you will have to sell them at a deep discount to the price that the cemetery charges.  It is perfectly fine and legal to sell or donate graves/interment spaces.  It's a pretty easy transfer as well.  If you donate graves to a non profit, you will receive a tax deduction based on the current value that the cemetery itself charges for the graves now.  So you will benefit from this depending on your own tax situation.  But apart from that if you are unable to sell graves, donation is an option to consider so that you can be done with the graves and thinking about them.  Plus there is the goodwill of getting the graves to those truly in need who cannot afford graves/interment spaces.  I would be happy to talk to anyone about how to effect a donation transfer.
