Cemetery Plot Auctions

Create a Cemetery Plot Auction

Cemetery plot auctions offer a respectful, practical, and often financially beneficial way for families, estate managers, and investors to buy and sell burial spaces. Whether it’s a private resale of an unused plot, a family relocation, or a liquidation of cemetery real estate assets, these auctions give buyers access to premium locations—often below market price.

Our auctions are typically online and bid at the site with smartphone on item inspection day, giving buyers the opportunity to review documentation and cemetery details in person while bidding remotely via mobile.

💡 Why Cemetery Plot Auctions Serve a Purpose

1. Rare Inventory, Strong Demand

Burial space in desirable cemeteries is limited. Buyers are willing to bid for location, legacy, and convenience.

2. High Margin for Sellers

Plots purchased years ago for a few thousand dollars can resell for significant profit due to scarcity and location value.

3. Transparent Disposition for Estates

Families and executors benefit from Selling Lane’s clean, documented process when transferring ownership of burial rights.

4. Post-Auction Opportunity via Deal Working

Selling Lane’s deal working feature helps close on plots that didn’t hit reserve during bidding—recovering an average of 10% more per event.
