One way to come in under the average cost of a funeral is to simply grave rob yourself. One way you cut back in hard times is to get rid of what you eventually don’t need. You simply let your grave go. You put it up for sale. So in the Las Vegas area online listings are filled with grave sites for sale.

This is one way to lower your funeral costs and expenses. I have declared the average cost of the funeral to be $8,500 per year in 2009 (NOT INCLUDING THE CEMETERY).The fastest way to save on the average cost of funeral is to have a cremation. When you choose to be cremated you do not necessarily need a burial site. So in hard it places during this recession  grave plots are going up for sale.

Snippet From the Las Vegas Sun:

“This real estate calls for careful advertising: “Prestigious and matured garden,” “near water feature and tree,” “includes vault and headstone.”

In Clark County and across the country, a tough economy is prompting people to sell burial plots intended for later use or inherited from family. The plots have been stacking up in Internet classifieds (those quotes were taken from Las Vegas Craigslist postings) and on Web sites where online brokers keep databases of plots for sale by owner, a multiple listing service for cemeteries.”

Baron Chu, owner of California burial resale site Plot Brokers, says listings have grown at least tenfold in the past year. And Ken Brant, sales director for national Web site Grave Solutions (which currently has 117 listings in Nevada, mostly multiple plots), says resales have increased as the economy sinks. People are going online to get around mortuary prices, just like any shopper who shudders at retail prices.

Either way, Brant says, “it’s about the worst product in the world to sell.”

Especially when you don’t want to.
