Cemetery Burial Plots or Lots for Sale and Grave Sites for Sale Sold Cemetery Properties in 2005 and 2004 using the Cemetery Registry National Listing Service

Property SOLD Notification October 29, 2005
....We are delighted to have been asked to comment about your service in selling our cemetery lots, #269 & #270 in section 11, in Bayview Cemetery. It is going to be extremely effortless to say positive things about your service.
First of all, we had advertised in Pensacola daily newspaper several different times with no responses. We then traveled to Pensacola and visited many churches leaving small ads for the lots, to be placed on their bulletin boards. We had no success whatsoever.
It was then that I went on-line and discovered your service for advertising cemetery lots in your registry for sale. What a godsend, here was exactly what was needed, an ad that could be viewed by anyone with computer access looking for lots to purchase. Your price was more than reasonable and the ad and service was just what we were looking for. We don't really know where we would have ever found this type of exposure outside of the service you offered.
You notified us immediately when a prospective buyer showed interest in our lots and we then received a telephone contact from him and after several contacts, the lots were transferred to the purchasing party.
We must not be negligent in telling how much we appreciated the immediate responses we received from you whenever we had to edit our ad. It was remarkable the speed with which you altered our ad to include everything we had requested and confirming it with an immediate notification to us.
All in all, it was a most valuable experience and one that lay persons, such as my wife and myself, would have never been able to undertake or achieve the results your service has successfully provided.
So, kudos to you, your staff and your service. Please include us on your list of very satisfied customers which I'm sure is getting lengthy due to your invaluable service.

Hello: Wanted to let you know that I sold two of the six graves I had advertised. I'm
very pleased and now I would like to change the wording of my ad to read as follows ....
I was very pleased with your site and the fact that I can advertise to hundreds of thousands (or more) of people for a nominal fee. I tried advertising in the newspapers local to the cemetery where my property was located and it cost more for two days than it did for an unlimited amount of time on your site. I just placed my ad and forgot about it. About eight months later my graves were sold to a lady from the western part of the U.S. who was looking for a final resting place for her son who had been killed by a drunk driver in the eastern part of the U.S. Needless to say, she was devastated and went online in desperation to find someplace that she could bury him and feel at peace with the decision. (She intended to move east this fall and wanted her son to be buried near to where she was going to move) Your site is designed to make it easy for anyone to find exactly what they want. It's also designed to keep info private that needs to be kept private. I especially like that feature. Again, thanks for your site. I still have a lot with four graves to be sold, but I feel confident that it will also be sold in good time.

Regarding ARN # 7817 (Pacific View Memorial Park) the Lot was sold today for $3,000.00. It was listed for $3,500.00 but the purchaser was so appreciative that she was able to go ahead with the internment and services on the date planned I told her to keep the $500.00 and we would settle for $3,000.00, She and her two brothers were ecstatic over the results that your people performed in getting a hold of me. A job well done!!!!

The sale of my cemetery lots is now final..... Thanks for listing and the tips for selling. It took a while but ,the result was positive.... I recently completed the sale of my cemetery lots that were registered with The Final Arrangements Network. After some time I became discouraged at the time it was taking and no sale. I contacted them with my concern and they responded immediately with some suggestions on changing the wording in the sale ad. I agreed to and instigated the changes. After a few months I was contacted by a potential buyer. After we negotiated and settled on the price the plots were sold. If anyone has cemetery lots for sale, I recommend that you list them with Final Arrangements Network. They are very accommodating and quick to answer questions.

To the Registrar's office. This is Victor..... My Archival Record Number is #7578. I have sold my lot's in Phoenix AZ., Phoenix Memorial Park. Thank you. I want you to know if it had not been for your service I would still have them. By the way, I had the lots for 30 years. I did not buy them to make money on them but to use them when the good lord called us home, but we moved back to Michigan and no use for them. I tried to sell them many times but with no luck. Without you people I could still have them. Again, I say thanks.
P.S. Please feel free to use this letter. Thank you for your service it was very helpful.

We had the property listed in Roseburg paper and no response. I found this site by accident in the internet. The sale was all because of the Cemetery Registry you have. The service was great and you helped us very much, as I even forgot we had it listed and had the wrong email address in the site. You contacted us and got the ball going on the sale. You can use us as a reference.... The sale was all because of the posting on your site. We are waiting on the check now, as the Cemetery made a mistake on the deed for the buyer. Needless to say, we are very happy about your site and the care you did for us and all the help.

Fate has a way of doing things for us! My ad was seen by the Grandson of a gentleman who lived next door to us for 35 yrs. We had moved from the area and he was looking for cemetery lots in Antioch Oak View Cemetery for his very ill father-in-law who isn't expected to live out this month. They have Hospice. His first question by e-mail was:

1: Did we still have the lots for sale?
2: He knew of a Stan (Last name withheld by TCR) in Antioch, CA and wanted to know if we were the same people?

After 15 years we met his wife and mother-in-law and did the exchange of property. His wife went through school with our oldest daughter. The man himself used to play with our kids and had gone with us on some family outings. Small World or what? It made us feel good to know that it was someone that we knew who was benefiting from this sale. It saved them quite a bit of money and knowing the family history they needed a break. Thank you so much for a truly good service. Sincerely, Shirley

It was on April 4 2003 that I placed my ad in your system. Not everyone wants a "double crypt" so it was almost two years without a single call on the phone or inquire through e-mail. Last Saturday after a couple had been to the cemetery office and found out how big a cost it was going to be for a "double crypt" went home and got on the internet to your listings and gave me a call. We agreed to meet up at the cemetery to look at the crypt and the location. The price was about half what the cemetery was charging so it was a good deal for both of us. We closed the sale right there Sunday afternoon.

You just have to wait it out until someone comes along that wants your particular type of plot or crypt. I ran many ads in the local newspaper under "funeral supplements" and never received a single call in response to my ads. Thanks for your help in selling our crypt.

I am very satisfied with the services provided by The Cemetery Registry regarding the sale of two cemetery plots. The plots were initially listed April 2004. Didn't get any inquiries until November. Ironically, most of the inquiries came in pairs, generally one by email via the registry and one by telephone, usually both having an immediate need. But, the plots were intended for cremation urn burial so were too small for casket burial. The lone fifth inquiry in February 2005 resulted in sale of the plots. However, before the sale was finalized I received another pair of inquiries, for a total of seven inquires. You have my permission to edit the above comments as you see fit, and to share them with visitors to the web site.

I received a telephone call from a "broker" that had found my listing on your web site. He has a business of helping clients make reasonable funeral arrangements. He had a client with an immediate need that did want all 4 spaces. The broker took a commission on the sale, but negotiated the price with his client so that I still got what I was asking. We concluded the deal with the paperwork on Wednesday and I received a certified check.

Listed with Finalarrangementsnetwork.com for only 4 months before selling four of the eight plots I had available. I live 2,000 miles away from the park where I owned the lots and local advertisement would not have been feasible or cost effective. Your site provides a very effective forum for the exchange of cemetery plots. I recommended it to the folks who purchased my plots as they are trying to sell some plots located 1500 miles from their location.

We listed our lots with your service and they sold rather quickly and for the price we asked. We would recommend this service since we had advertised these lots twice in a local newspaper with no response. It so happened that the buyer had lots in our new location and we purchased his lots. The entire deal went well.

Gentlemen: Thank you so much for your assistance in selling my cemetery lots. I was about to give up. Newspaper advertising had not worked at all. The Cemetery Company was no help. Finally a friend suggested I try the Internet for Companies that might specialize in this sort of sale. Your fees were so reasonable as to seem "unreal" compared to E-Bay and others on the web. In no time at all, I began to receive calls that had eluded me for years. Because your fees were so reasonable, I was able to sell the property at a very competitive price and finally get closure on this effort. Many thanks for your important service.

Initially several years ago I listed with a company named (name withheld).

Approximately 6 years or more have passed until very recently I received a telephone call from a family interested in the lots who found the listing through your service (listing began in 2003). We came to a mutual agreement and the lots were sold. I hope this answers your questions and I appreciate all that your service has done for me.

Any question I had emailed was responded to within a day and changes that I requested to make to my advertisement were made in a day! Their response time is fantastic and always very helpful and friendly. All I can say is that they provide wonderful service at a very affordable price. Thank you again!

This is a great service and I hope that more people will realize that your site is available to those looking for lots. Most people can't afford to advertise through the newspaper as it is very costly to do so, and it usually takes so long to sell cemetery lots due to the nature of the item.
If you haven't already, I think you should list this web site with AARP and any other association newsletters that might draw folks to your site. However, I believe that the Web Master must be doing something right in keeping up with the search engine links. Thank you,
