I'd been saying for quite awhile that I was going to buy a cemetery plot. I have a friend who used to work in the funeral business and he told me how prices have started escalating. He had bought several plots years ago and prices are indeed much higher. Also, my mother and father purchased their double grave with vault years before either of them died and it was a big help to my mom when my father died and a help to me when my mom passed. I wanted to make that one less thing my son has to worry about, especially since we (Muslims) are supposed to be buried within 24 hours (or as close to that timing as possible). The cemetery offered a $200 discount and interest free payments for 24 months. I also opted to pay for the grave opening and closing fee, since those prices are going up as well. My final payment was in May and my deed should be ready to be picked up by now.
I have two insurance policies that I expect will cover additional funeral costs, hopefully with some left over. Have you done a pre-paid funeral and/or purchased a plot (or plots)?
