Selling your valuable Cemetery Property

Thank you for your interest in listing your cemetery property for sale.

As a Licensed Cemetery Broker by the State of California, We list all cemetery property for sale, to include burial grave plots, mausoleum crypts, cremation niches and lawn crypts, similar to the way a real estate broker lists residential or commercial property for sale.

To list your cemetery property for sale with a Cemetery Broker, we request a copy of the original deed/ownership certificate or a copy of the original agreement for the property so that we can make an appraisal.

We will then correspond by mail a written proposal stating the dollar amount (you) the seller will receive for your burial grave plot upon completion of a sale. (In some instances, the written proposal will also include an offer to purchase the burial property for sale outright from (you) the seller.)

All required cemetery property transfer fees and commissions are paid for by the purchaser. If our proposal is accepted, a “Special Power of Attorney” (which has been approved by the cemetery) and a Listing Agreement will be sent to you in the proposal package along with any other special documents as the situation may require.

The official documents must be signed, notarized and returned to us, so that we may actively show the property. As the seller’s agent, we take care of all the necessary details between the purchaser and the cemetery. Upon completion of the transfer of ownership, payment is made to (you) the seller.

We sincerely believe this satisfactorily describes the process and service being offered for the sale of your burial plots. We will do our utmost to fulfill the confidence (you) our clients place with us.

For a written evaluation and proposal, please download the appraisal form, answer all questions completely on the form and send it along with a copy of the cemetery property deed to:
