Everything you need to know about buying and selling on PlotListings
Your first listing is free for 30 days. After the trial period, listings are available for $14.95 per month. There are no hidden fees, setup costs, or listing charges beyond the flat monthly subscription.
No. PlotListings never takes a commission or percentage of your sale price. We operate on a simple flat-rate subscription model. What you agree on with the buyer is entirely yours.
Once a buyer and seller agree on terms, they work directly with the cemetery's transfer office to complete the ownership change. Each cemetery has its own transfer process and fees. PlotListings provides step-by-step checklists and guidance to help both parties navigate the process smoothly.
Yes. The resale of cemetery plots is legal in all 50 states. Cemetery plot owners hold a deed or certificate of ownership that grants them the right to use or transfer the plot. Some cemeteries have a right of first refusal, meaning they may choose to buy the plot back before you sell to a third party. We recommend checking with your specific cemetery for their transfer policies.
PlotListings verifies seller identity during the registration process. We review listings for accuracy and completeness before they go live. Additionally, our secure messaging system allows buyers to ask detailed questions and request documentation before committing to a purchase.
Most cemetery plot transfers are completed within 2 to 6 weeks, depending on the cemetery's administrative process. Some cemeteries process transfers more quickly, while others may require additional paperwork or board approval. We help set expectations and provide status tracking throughout the process.
You can list single plots, double (companion) plots, family plots with multiple spaces, crypts, cremation niches, and mausoleum spaces. If you own the right to a burial space and have proper documentation, you can list it on PlotListings.
