There comes a time when families must make decisions they never imagined facing. Whether planning ahead for future generations or managing an unexpected life event, finding the right cemetery property can feel overwhelming. Questions about pricing, ownership, location, and legal transfers often add unnecessary stress during an already emotional process. CemeteryProperty.com was created to make those decisions easier by offering a professional marketplace where buyers and sellers can connect with confidence.

A Trusted Resource For Cemetery Property Transactions

CemeteryProperty.com specializes in helping individuals buy and sell privately owned cemetery property throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and surrounding California communities. Rather than navigating complex resale transactions alone, families gain access to experienced professionals who understand the unique requirements involved in cemetery property ownership, transfers, and valuation. The company operates as a licensed and bonded cemetery brokerage, providing an added layer of credibility and accountability throughout each transaction.

Planning for memorial property is unlike purchasing traditional real estate. Every location carries personal meaning, family history, and emotional significance. CemeteryProperty.com recognizes that each client arrives with different priorities, whether they are searching for a family plot, a mausoleum crypt, or a cremation niche. By focusing exclusively on cemetery property, the company provides specialized knowledge that general real estate services cannot easily match.

Experience That Brings Confidence

For many buyers, purchasing resale cemetery property offers the opportunity to swcure preferred locations while often reducing costs compared with purchasing directly from a cemetery. For sellers, the process can involve documentation, ownership verification, marketing, negotiations, and transfer procedures that require careful attention.

CemeteryProperty.com simplifies these responsibilities by researching ownership, verifying property information, and representing sellers throughout the sales process. Buyers also benefit from guided property tours that help them compare available locations before making an important decision. This personalized approach transforms what can feel like a confusing process into one that is structured, transparent, and respectful.

Over the years, the brokerage has assisted thousands of cemetery property transactions, helping families find meaningful memorial spaces while allowing sellers to transfer unused properties efficiently. Their long standing presence within California's cemetery property market demonstrates both consistency and specialized expertise.

Serving Families With Compassion And Professionalism

One of the defining characteristics of CemeteryProperty.com is its balance of professional service and compassionate guidance. Memorial planning is deeply personal, and every transaction represents more than a financial exchange. It reflects family traditions, future planning, and lasting remembrance.

Instead of approaching cemetery property as a simple listing service, the company focuses on educating clients throughout the process. Buyers receive assistance identifying locations that align with their preferences, while sellers benefit from knowledgeable representation that helps reduce administrative burdens. This commitment to service helps create confidence during a time when clarity matters most.

The company's emphasis on verified ownership, licensed representation, and direct client support distinguishes it within a highly specialized industry where trust remains essential.

Why Planning Ahead Matters

Many families postpone memorial planning until circumstances make immediate decisions unavoidable. However, planning ahead offers greater flexibility, more location choices, and additional time for thoughtful consideration.

CemeteryProperty.com encourages proactive planning by giving families access to available resale properties before urgent situations arise. This approach allows buyers to compare options carefully, discuss preferences with loved ones, and make informed decisions without unnecessary pressure.

For sellers, the platform also provides an effective solution when cemetery property is no longer needed because of relocation, changing family circumstances, or estate planning. By connecting qualified buyers with available inventory, CemeteryProperty.com helps ensure valuable memorial property continues to serve families who need it.

Helping Families Navigate Important Decisions

Choosing cemetery property is ultimately about preserving memories and honoring loved ones. While the process involves practical considerations, it also carries lasting emotional significance. CemeteryProperty.com combines industry knowledge with compassionate service to help clients navigate these decisions with confidence.

Families seeking available cemetery property or individuals interested in selling unused memorial property can learn more by visiting CemeteryProperty.com . The website provides information about available listings, brokerage services, and the support available throughout every stage of the buying or selling process. Whether planning for the future or addressing an immediate need, CemeteryProperty.com offers experienced guidance designed to make an important life decision more manageable.

A Simple Task That Makes a Big Difference

Thu, 26 Feb 2026 16:46:05 GMT

Spring is a time for fresh starts, clean slates, and checking off those

lingering items on your to-do list. Often, we organize closets, review

finances, and simplify our lives – but one item is often overlooked: unused

or unwanted cemetery property.

If you or your family own cemetery plots, mausoleum crypts, or cremation

niches that are no longer needed, this spring is the perfect time to take

action.

Why Cemetery Property Often Goes Unused

Life changes. Families relocate, burial plans evolve, and properties

purchased years ago may no longer fit your wishes. Instead of letting that

property sit idle, reselling it can bring both financial relief and peace of

mind.

Selling unwanted cemetery property can help you:

Free yourself from ongoing maintenance or ownership concerns.
Recover funds that can be used for current priorities.
Simplify estate planning and reduce burdens on loved ones.
Start your spring feeling organized and in control.

For many families, it's not just about the money – it’s about closure and

clarity.

professionals, who have been helping families in the Bay area for 30 years,

others in the Bay Area.

Start This Spring with One Less Thing to Worry About

As you look at your to-do list this spring, consider adding- and checking off

this important task. A fresh start begins with letting go of what no longer

fits, and spring is the perfect time to do just that.

Remembering Those Who Served

Remembering Those Who Served

At Cemetery Property Resales we take time this Veterans Day — and every day — to honor the brave men and women who have served our country. Their courage, dedication, and sacrifice protect the freedoms we cherish, and their memory deserves the highest respect.

Across generations, our veterans have stood ready to defend our nation — through times of peace and conflict, at home and abroad. Many rest now in sacred places of remembrance, where families can reflect on their legacy and express gratitude for all they gave. These spaces are more than resting places; they are symbols of honor, sacrifice, and love of our country.

As a business that helps families plan for the future, we understand how important it is to preserve the stories and significance behind every name and marker. Veterans remind us that every life has meaning, every memory matters, and every legacy deserves to be protected.

This Veterans Day, we invite you to join us in reflecting on the lives of those who served. Visit a memorial, place a flag or flower, or simply take a quiet moment to remember their service. Let us continue to honor them — not just in words, but in the care and respect we show to their final resting places.

Thank you to all veterans — past, present, and future — for your service, your courage, and your sacrifice.

We offer highly discounted military locations reserved only for those who served in all branchs of the military for any length of time. Skylawn Memorial Park in San Mateo, Oak Hill Memorial Park in San Jose, Chapel of the Chimes in Hayward, and Rolling Hills Memorial Park in Richmond and other cemeteries.

Honoring the Lives that came before us: Dia de los Muertos

Honoring the Lives that Came before us: Día de Los Muertos By: Jordan Brown

Every fall, families come together to celebrate Día de Los Muertos, or the Day of the Dead. This Vibrant holiday, spanning from October 31st to November 2nd, is a time to remember, honor, and celebrate the lives of those who have passed on. While some may view cemeteries as a place of silence. Día de Los Muertos shows us that cemeteries may also be a place of celebration, and connection.

Each day during Día de los Muertos, holds a special meaning. The first day is known as Día de los Angelitos. Beginning at midnight on November 1st, it is a day to remember and celebrate children that are deceased. Filled with activities to invite their spirits to visit. Families create altars (ofrendas) with offerings such as photographs, the child’s favorite foods, toys, and sugar skulls.

The second day starts the main celebration, also known as Día de los Difuntos. This is a day for remembering and commemorating adult ancestors and friends. The night is filled with laughter and creating memories. The ofrendas take on a more adult theme with items such as Tequila and Mezcal. Families often play games together and reminisce about their loved ones.

Starting at noon on November 2nd, is the grand finale and public celebration of Día de los Muertos. People come together in their cities, faces adorned with intricate painting, parades and offerings fill the streets, dancing and celebration can be seen wherever you go. Families decorate their loved ones’ graves with Marigold flowers, gifts, and sugar skulls with their loved ones’ name on them. It’s also customary to clean the gravestone and restore the color. This celebration is proof that love outlasts lifetimes.

Many cemeteries hold celebrations around Bay Area at Cypress Lawn Memorial Park, Oak Hill Memorial Park and Skylawn Memorial Park.

Life In the quiet Lane: How I ended up here

Mon, 18 Aug 2025 03:51:44 GMT

When people ask what my new career is, I usually get one of two reactions: A head tilt

followed by “Oh that’s….interesting”. Or a curious “Wait, that’s a real job?”

Yes. Yes, it is.

I work for a Cemetery Property Resale Company; A Job you do not see many young people

running too or dreaming of. It’s not flashy, it’s not glamorous, and some may find it a little

morbid for someone my age to be apart of. But to me what matters is,

It’s all about the people.

We come across people in all walks of life. Each have their own story and are all on

different chapters. Each of those stories matters to me. Treating everyone that comes

across my path like they are my best friend, or parent or grandparent is the most gratifying

feeling.

The Lessons I did not Expect:

Working in this field has been a crash course in perspective. I have learned:

• People want reassurance, not pressure. My job is not to sell; it is to be a guide.

• Mortality makes life sweet: As strange as it sounds, talking about death every day,

reminds me to actually live.

• Compassion matters: People remember kindness, not just another pitch.

Now for my first trick: Follow along as I take on searching for sellers in Cedar Lawn Cemetery, one filled with rich heritage and culture and make those available for families looking to make that location their final resting place.

Find your final resting place at the Bay Area’s most historic mausoleum

Tue, 22 Apr 2025 03:51:17 GMT

Located just north of Golden Gate Park in San Francisco stands the San Francisco Columbarium, the city’s last remaining interment location. Built in 1898, the Columbarium exemplifies the epitome of neo-classical architecture with its domed ceiling, mosaic tile floors, and stained-glass windows.

This historic landmark is a testament to the city’s history. It is one of the few buildings to survive the catastrophic earthquake of 1906, and it is the final resting place for Harvey Milk, famed San Francisco activist and politician.

Click here to read a SF Chronicle article about Emmitt Watson, groundskeeper, gardener, and tour guide at the Columbarium for over 30 years.

“I met Emmitt at the mausoleum many times. He called the niches condos, saying the occupants had decorated the niches with personal items. Emmitt always found the time to give a tour to help families feel comfortable,” said Terry Arellano, founder and CEO of Cemetery Property Resales, Inc. “Our prices for niches are considerably lower than what the cemetery charges. Our sellers chose the columbarium for personal reasons and are passing along their low prices to the new owners.”

Several purchasing options are available at the San Francisco Columbarium through Cemetery Property Resales. Purchase a double glass front cremation niche for only $4,900 (cemetery price: $14,000). Our nearby sales office in San Francisco is available to meet to show and immediately transfer ownership of properties.

San Mateo, California – January 2, 2025

Cemetery Property Resales, Inc. has recently acquired California Cemetery Brokers, reaffirming its commitment to San Francisco Bay Area families in need of selling and buying their cemetery property in an otherwise difficult resale market.

Well connected with many businesses in the funeral industry, Cemetery Property Resales, Inc. fills a need for numerous potential Buyers who cannot afford visiting a cemetery directly, hence, paying a much higher price for their much-needed property. Often, these buyers have experienced a sudden, traumatic and unplanned loss. Buyers are often caught, unprepared. Our stellar group of sales managers are always there to help on short notice, meeting Buyers at the cemetery and showing them available properties. Our salespeople identify with being advocates of the living and the grieving, displaying integrity, humility and professionalism.

COMMEMORATING 27 YEARS OF COMPASSION & SERVICE

Fri, 24 Feb 2023 23:47:19 GMT

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.”

About Cemetery Property Resales

Founded in San Mateo in 1996, Cemetery Property Resales maintains an extensive inventory of properties at cemeteries throughout the Bay Area at prices that represent a significant discount over those charged by cemeteries. Cemetery Property Resales has expert knowledge of the cemeteries and sections that are preferred. The company is licensed by the state of California and bonded working closely with funeral homes, hospices, and clergy.
