Selling Graves You Will Not Use

It is possible to sell graves/plot/interment spaces, outer burial container vaults, opening and closing interment fees that you will not be using.  Be prepared to have some patience.  It takes some time to sell cemetery property but it can be done and it is perfectly above-board and legal.  Almost all cemeteries will not buy your graves.  You may not want to hear this but you will most likely have to sell your cemetery property at a deep discount to what the cemetery charges currently.  You can try to sell whatever you own at whatever price you can get.  If you can get $10,000 per grave, great!  But most likely if you are trying to sell your graves at a price near to the cemetery price you will likely be disappointed that the graves have not sold and probably they will not sell.  My experience is that you will be able to sell your graves for about 20% of what the cemetery charges.  So if you inherited the graves that might be OK.  But graves are typically not a source of quick cash, of easy money, unfortunately.  Once you do find a buyer it is pretty simple to effect the transfer.  There may be a transfer fee.
