No! There are no commissions or hidden fees for listing your cemetery property for sale on BurialLink. However, there are usually cemetery charges for quit-claiming ownership to another person ("transfer fee"). Cemeteries often charge between $100 to $350 for paperwork and processing for each new certificate issued.

The buyer and seller should agree ahead of time on who will pay this fee and outline it in writing. We recommend you include this in the ad, but the buyer should inquire in advance of purchase if it is not clearly stated.

Be smart and competitive about your plot pricing. Depending on your location, the cemetery may have hundreds or thousands of spaces in inventory for sale. Take into consideration the plot location inside the cemetery and the quality of the surroundings. Find out what their best prices are and price your property accordingly. Remember, price to sell!

Keep in mind that, for the past 100 years, cemetery property sold using pay over time contracts with small down payments, even smaller installment payments and years to pay. Cemeteries still do that today. Remember, the secondary market is a cash market with no financing available from sellers and should consider when setting our price.

Additionally, BurialLink has excellent built-in tools that clearly outline the prices for specific cemeteries or regions based on historical transaction data. Use this quality data to help guide your pricing decisions.

It may take 12 to 18 months to sell burial plots, even in some of the more popular cemeteries. Cemetery property is a niche market, which means it takes a specific buyer ready to purchase in your area of the cemetery.

BurialLink has thousands of subscribers to help streamline this process, but it still may take an extended period to go from listing to completed sale.
