COMMEMORATING 27 YEARS OF COMPASSION & SERVICE

February 24, 2023

San Mateo, Calif. – February 24, 2023 – Cemetery Property Resales, a brokerage firm that specializes in marketing discounted cemetery properties, today announced that the beginning of 2023 marks its 27th year of providing services to families throughout the Bay Area. Cemetery Property Resales sells properties at Skylawn Memorial Park, Chapel of the Chimes in Hayward and Oakland, Cedar Lawn Memorial Park, Oak Hill Memorial Park in San Jose, and many other locations in Colma, Sacramento, and on the East Bay, at prices that are significantly lower than those charged by the cemeteries themselves.


Early in the New Year when resolutions are top of mind - is a perfect time to begin the process. Families can avoid confusion, anxiety, and arguments by pre-planning burial arrangements - one of the most loving gifts family members can give each other. Not surprisingly, people procrastinate when it comes to making burial arrangements. Because women typically live longer than men, they are the ones left unfortunately in an emotional state at the time of need.


Responsiveness and an Ethical Approach


“People move out of the area, divorce, or change their needs for cemetery arrangements,” explains Terry Arellano, CEO, Co. Founder and Licensed Cemetery Salesperson. "We sell properties for sellers living nationwide."


Founder Terry Arellano attribute their success in this unique market to several factors. Perhaps the most important is that we are highly responsive. “Not only do we meet with buyers quickly,” says Arellano, “we also save families from 20% to 80% off the high prices charged by cemeteries for low cost graves, burial plots, crypts, or cremation niches. We can often find space in the same area as the rest of their family, even though they may have been told that the cemetery is sold out.” Arellano is genuinely concerned about the families, Arellano remarks, “By saving a family a significant amount of money on a lawn plot or a niche for cremated remains, we enable them to purchase a casket or plan a funeral service that truly reflects their feelings for their family member.”


Meeting Real Needs


The value Cemetery Property Resales provides is best expressed by a San Jose couple who wrote, “Thank you very much for helping us get the two plots at Oak Hill Memorial Cemetery… Since then, we have visited twice, and each time there was a funeral. As we have watched the funeral, we have felt assured that when the time comes, we know we have a place to rest.”
