Plots at Fairhaven

I just talked to my mom, and it turns out that in my recently-departed grandparents' estate are two plots at Fairhaven Memorial in Santa Ana. Apparently my great-grandparents (whose house is still standing on Palmyra in Orange) bought them the plots decades ago. My grandparents wished to be cremated, so the plots will not be used.



Fairhaven will buy them back for 30% of market value, which would be a loss of several thousand dollars. If its not too much hassle, it makes more monetary sense to sell them for close to full market value. At that point Fairhaven only charges $150 to transfer the title.



Does anyone have any advice for selling cemetary plots? They are real estate, after all.



As an aside, when I get a chance I'll be sharing some old photos of Orange and Orange HS (now Chapman U) from my grandparents' days there. They graduated from Orange High in 1948. The yearbook pictures are classic!
 
I've seen ads in the paper from people selling plots. You can even advertise them on Craigslist.<a href="http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/search/sss?query=cemetary plot"> Here are some.</a>
 
My mom inherited 10 plots from a crazy uncle and gave them to my brother, who turned around and sold them for $2K each. He advertised in a few obscure publications. But that was before the internet.

Sorry, man. The real estate market is tanking and all, but we aren't quite at 50% of 1950's prices. :)

[quote author="Astute Observer" date=1225501043]Where in FH? The lots in the old section cost more. If the feng shi is good, I am sure some asians will be interested. But they tends to go to Rosehill area, I think.</blockquote>


Does section A mean something? I think that's where she said it was, but I'd have to ask her again.
 
BK where are you? We need some of your feng shui advice in this thread. Where, how, and why should someone be buried in the proper feng shui way? If there is someone with ashes, what is the appropriate way to feng shui way to handle this? Inquiring minds want to know...

Asian love Rose Hills because they understand and cater to the sensitibilities of various Asian groups. If you visit Rose Hills, be sure to pour some on the ground for my hero Eazy-E, resting at Rose Hills, Lupine Lawn, Lot 2482, Gr 1.

RIP Eazy, ruthless for life.
 
This is your hero ? :shut:



<em>Eazy-E was a Kelly Park Compton Crip during his teen years, and he openly associated himself with other crips and crip sets. He sold drugs during his early teen years and then parlayed the money he made into a hip hop enterprise</em>

In 1988, I would have dropped out of college in an instant if the NWA tour bus had pulled up in front of my dorm and offered me a seat.
