Buy and Sell Cemetery Plots], the number one reseller of cemetery plots in the nation, has noticed a boost in activity and sales on their website, even with the economic downturn. The depressing tolls from unemployment and heavy debt have led many people to search for every way possible to pay their bills.
“It’s hard to worry about my final resting place when I’m worrying about feeding my family,” says one Buy and Sell client. “When I saw the deeds in my papers for the two cemetery plots for my wife and me, I realized they were real assets. Even taking off thirty percent, they sold for enough to pay off our pressing bills.”
This situation is common; people all over the nation in financial trouble are calling their cemeteries to find out if they buy back plots. Buy and Sell Cemetery Plots is reporting a record number of plot listings and stories about financial desperation. “Instead of the usual, ‘My parents left me four extra plots they bought in the 50’s and I don’t have any use for them,’” says Shawn McKensi, owner and CEO, “we’re hearing too often ‘I’ve lost my job and I might lose my home’, or ‘I can’t pay my bills’. Selling their cemetery plots gives them a monetary leg up when they need it most.”
“It was almost like selling my house,” says another Buy and Sell client when asked about their experience and Buy and Sell’s services. “I told them I needed to sell my cemetery plots and at what price I could afford to sell them. They helped me list them, along with pictures and a video tour. I had a seller in less than two weeks and, like a real estate agent would, Buy and Sell took care of the paperwork. My retirement savings is gone and I haven’t been able to find a job, but the proceeds from the sales have been a blessing and enough to keep going.”
The stories aren’t all doom and gloom, however. “The upside of the story is the buyer side,” says the CEO. Some of the clients using Buy and Sell Cemetery Plots are buyers looking for a particular plot next to loved ones in cemeteries that have been sold out for years. Especially with the higher number of listings, Buy and Sell has been able to help many find exactly what they need. “Now, not only can they find that elusive cemetery plot, but they’re also helping someone in financial distress.”
