It depends on the type of listing chosen. Please follow the link below to review our Listing Plans in detail.

Do you give refunds?

     No. We do not give refunds. Please ensure that you have communicated with your cemetery to see if they allow the resale of interment rights on the open market. Some do not especially Catholic cemeteries or historic cemeteries. 

Are you Brokers?

     No. We are not brokers. In fact, many cemeteries will not work with brokers. We are happy being a listing service.

Do you buy cemetery property?

     No. We do not buy cemetery property.

Why do you use PayPal™?

     We use PayPal™ as our merchant only so we do not capture any of your financial information. Also, they have the lowest credit card processing fees which we do not pass along to our sellers.

 Do You Charge a Commission?

     No. We do not charge a commission when your property sells. We just charge the one-time fee.

What do I need to do before I list my cemetery property?

      We recommend that you click on this link:   How to Sell My Cemetery Property. You may already know the majority of the questions asked. However, since you probably don't do this every day - there may be some questions that you did not know to ask.

 How do I create a listing?

      Creating a listing is easy. The information we ask for can be taken from your contract or deed. Where you get to expand on is in the description field. You can click on the link at the top of this page. We will require a copy of your cemetery documentation. We do not care if it is not in your name. We are only interested in the cemetery name and the legal description of the property you are trying to sell.

 How long will it take to sell my cemetery property?

     We do not have that crystal ball. Selling cemetery property is not a fast sell. It is not an overnight sell. It is the hardest thing to sell. If anyone has told you that selling cemetery property is a quick sell, then you were misled.  We do not and will not sugar coat anything. It takes a very very very long time to sell traditional burial property.  

      You are already trying to sell the hardest item in the world to sell. Add to it that so many are opting for cremation and it just got even harder.. Even if you are trying to sell cremation property, our studies have shown that even those opting for cremation, many do not want to have their cremains interred in a cemetery. They are content to be on families mantles for eternity or scattered.  It all boils down to cost. And keep in mind that cemetery property is more of a need item, than a want item. It will always come down to someone who likes what they see in your listing and wants a traditional burial.  Cemeteries are in the same position that you are. Their sales for traditional burial property has dropped dramatically.

 Keep in Mind - Cemetery property is more of a NEED item than a WANT item. There will always be MORE sellers than there are buyers. And you are competing with the highest cremation rate we have ever seen.

 Can you guarantee that my property will sell?

      Absolutely not! Again, there is no sugar coating here. We're not going to tell you what you want to hear. There is no rhyme or reason why one property sells over another.  Some sell quickly and some can take years to sell and some just never sell. This is why we don't over charge someone to sell something that is the hardest thing to sell.

 I'm a buyer, can I negotiate with you regarding cemetery property?

     No. If you have an interest in a specific cemetery property and the seller has not provided their contact phone or email information, just click on the button that references Seller Contact, provide the answers to questions we have asked for on the listing. We will vet your information and once we feel we have a viable inquiry, we will forward that information to the seller so they can reach out to you.

 I want to buy cemetery property in a specific state and city and I don't see a listing. What do I do?

     On each cemetery page on our site, there button that references Cemetery Property Wanted. You can complete that information and if we do not have anything available, we will put a WANTED notice on the state page that you are looking in.

 Do you market the properties that are listed with you?

     Yes. In addition to your listing being on our website nationwide with over 80,000 unique visitors a month, we also post your listing to our social media.

 We just experienced a death. We need property fast and cannot afford the cemetery pricing. Can The Cemetery Exchange help?

     Yes. When you are looking through our listings you will notice the majority of our listings have a 'heart' Seller has made their cemetery property available for immediate need. This means the seller has designated their cemetery property  'Available for Immediate Need'. If you have found a particular property that you are interested in and the seller has not provided their direct contact phone number,  please click on button that references Seller Contact and complete the form. In an  immediate need situation, you only have between 12 and 72 hours to secure burial property. So time is of the essence.

 Can I make changes to my listing?

     Yes. You can request a change to your listing. Click on the link below and request your change(s). PLEASE NOTE! One change request within a calender month is free. Any additional change request(s) within a calendar month will incur fee for each additional change request.

     Please Note - Each and every listing has a 'Verified as Available Date'.  We strive to ensure that this date is as current as possible. As buyers are going through the site they will see that the information is current and most likely the property  is available. Any time there is correspondence with us, that date is updated to that date.

 Why can't I make my own changes?

  We do not allow sellers to make changes to their listings. We have spent a lot of time ensuring that our format is easy to navigate for sellers and we have received many  compliments just for that. It keeps our website safe, quick and unopen to hackers.  J

 What do I do once my property sells?

     Just contact us, provide us with your listing number and we will mark your listing as sold and remove it from the active listings. We like to keep the sold listings  on the site so people know that it works!  Any personal information will be removed from your sold listing.
