We Get Questions
Q : Fifteen years ago, my parents bought lots
at a cemetery which didn't fulfill its expectations
or promises. As a family, we have decided to
purchase lots in another cemetery. Is there a
market for these lots we aren't using, or can we
donate them?
A: Your family's experience is echoed by many
others who also were disappointed with the lots
they purchased. I can put them in a file, but the
likelihood of using them will only be enhanced
should the cemetery decide to do the things it
originally promised.
