My late wife's father bought and is buried in a double.
I followed through with her cremation request.
This has been low on my priority list but trying to tie up loose ends.
 
Interesting question. I assume they are like timeshares and a bajillion dollars to buy and they control resale to ensure the money stays with the cemetery. I assume by double you mean two wide? Or are you trying to sell the top level on top of FIL?

Working on burying my dad beside by grandma now. My grandparents bought four plots for them plus kids. Each plot allows double stack coffins with something like 6 urns on top of that. We haven't discussed if my wife and I should go there or elsewhere. There will be space for us or an extra plot (some chaos in burial resulted in cousins buried in the wrong graves, ugh).

Two wide. Just wondering if it's $ worth the bother.

It looks like it's worth the bother. Do you have (or can get) the contract? Sometimes they limit options.

Wow...didn't even consider there's a market for re-sale of burial plots.

Will we need real estate agents for these deals? 5% off the top?

I may have helped a few families put gramps, dad ashes into Lake Ontario. Quiet service a few miles offshore . These were people that loved being on the Lake and on the water .

Does anyone visit graves anymore ? I haven’t been to my dad’s plot since we parked him a decade ago . My mom will go there as per her wishes and I doubt I’ll ever visit once she is interred. My in-laws are buried in Burlington, I’ve never been .

The rare visits are very solemn events. Once a year for my wife's side and rarely for mine.
 
Dads ashes in the cottage lake, no guilt as i'm up frequently.

Can't believe people drop that kinda money for this...outside of religion i guess.
