Purchasing Colorado Cemetery Plots on eBay: A Guide
As a uniquely scenic part of America, Colorado is also a beautiful final resting place to choose for you and your loved ones. Buying on eBay makes it easier than ever to look at potential lots and compare your options. Here's what to know before you buy your plot.
Do you need multiple plots or just one?Some people are committed to be buried surrounded by family, while others prefer buying a single plot. If you hope to purchase a few lots next to each other, this is one of the most important features to look for as you shop for available Colorado cemetery plots on eBay. Since cemetery space as a whole is less plentiful than it was several years ago, many eBay listings will emphasize their side-by-side lots for sale if they have them.
Side-by-side versus double-depth cemetery plotsIf you do need multiple Colorado burial plots, it's important to also understand that, depending on the cemetery or memorial park offering plots, you may be able to find them offered in a couple of different ways. Often, when you think of two burial plots, you'll picture two side-by-side graves. In some cemeteries, especially those conserving space, a double-depth plot is an option. In this offering, a single plot can be dug double the typical depth. This means that you can stack two caskets, one over the other. In some cases, buying a double-depth plot may be less expensive than buying two plots next to one another.
What to consider when choosing locationOf course, location is a crucial consideration when buying a burial plot since you're choosing your own final resting place. As you browse Colorado cemetery plots and gravesites listed on eBay, these are a few things to consider:
- Proximity to the family: You may want to choose a cemetery that is close enough for family and friends to easily visit.
- Appearance of grounds: Some cemeteries have a traditional feel, while others emphasize landscaping and scenery.
- Religious affiliation: Some cemeteries are connected to churches, while others are run as independent operations.
- Grave marker preference: You've likely seen some Colorado cemetery plots for sale where only flat grave markers are used. Likewise, you may also have seen cemeteries that have a mix of flat and raised stones. If you have a strong preference regarding marker type, it's worth looking at photos of the cemetery to make sure your choice would fit in well.
