Top 5 Tips to Make Your Cemetery Plot Listing Stand Out
Share
Creating a cemetery plot listing is simple — but making it stand out is what gets buyers to click and inquire. At Eturnal Rest™, we’ve seen which listings attract the most attention, and the difference often comes down to a few key details.
Here are 5 tips to help your listing shine:
1. Use Clear, High-Quality Photos
Listings with photos receive up to 3x more inquiries. Photos help buyers visualize the cemetery and feel confident in the purchase.
📷 Include:
- The cemetery entrance
- The general section or area where the plot is located
- Supporting documents (with sensitive info blurred)
2. Write a Detailed, Honest Description
A strong description answers buyer questions before they ask. Include:
- Cemetery name, section, and nearby landmarks
- Type of plot (single, double, niche, crypt)
- Number of spaces included
- Transfer process or fees
💡 Example:
“Two adjacent plots in Section A of Greenwood Cemetery, near the main entrance. Transfer handled through cemetery office, $200 fee required.”
3. Be Transparent About Fees
Some cemeteries charge transfer fees when ownership changes hands. Being upfront builds trust and avoids surprises. If you’re not sure of the exact fee, check with the cemetery office before listing.
4. Price Competitively
Buyers often compare resale listings against retail cemetery pricing.
- Check what the cemetery currently charges for a new plot.
- List your plot slightly below that price to stand out while still keeping strong value.
💡 Example:
If the cemetery charges $5,000 retail, listing at $3,500–$4,000 makes your offer attractive and competitive.
5. Keep Your Listing Updated
If details change — or if you want to add better photos — update your listing. Active, detailed listings inspire more confidence in buyers.
Why These Tips Matter
Buyers are making an important and emotional decision. The more clear, transparent, and trustworthy your listing feels, the more likely it is to get attention.
Following these tips can:
- Increase buyer inquiries
- Build trust quickly
- Help your plot sell faster
