There’s a country cemetery amongst the trees nearby. They are still selling plots and have a new section strictly for burying cremated remains. It’s very low maintenance with natural underbrush.
Selling Burial Plots

Is it just me or does a used plot seem odd? Is the price like 1/2 off?
It depends on the contract when you bought the plots.
Owning a cemetery plot is not like owning a piece of land. All the land legally belongs to the cemetery association. What you own is a license to bury a deceased person at a designated spot on their land.
Whether and how you can transfer that license is laid out in the contract you signed.

For one it's unused and almost nothing is cheaper today than it was 12 years ago...
That other poster said they were going to dig his father up to move him.

My wife assures me the ghost moves with the remains.
Are you behind the times, it only takes 25 mins now.
I was visiting a relative in Bermuda. The entire island is about 25 square miles and space is at a premium. There are some old churches with graveyards. The land has a lot of limestone so some of the graves are more like crypts and not backfilled with dirt. There would be a stone or concrete top. There is a yearly fee to be paid to the Chuch. If the fees are not paid, after a number of years, and depending with your standing with the Church, out come the bones and the grave is rented to someone else.
I listed my plots in the marketplace section of a local forum that I frequent . There were so many corny jokes that the mods had to step in and do some serious editing .People thought it was ok to step all over my listing just because they thought the subject matter was funny .
Speaking of funny, the opening scene of a movie I saw years ago had a group of grieving people around the grave site and they were lowering coffin. Just as it hit bottom, a cell phone rang from within the coffin.
Nobody wants these things anymore. They are a waste of space to begin with.

I worked in so many houses people purchased and the previous owner just left cremated remains behind in a closet or on a mantel...not cool
Cheapness and the easy way out is the new norm....
Nobody ? You would be wrong . Still the preferred choice .
