Buy and Sell –
SoCal’s leader in cemetery plot resales

Selling private cemetery property is unlike selling any other type of asset (or traditional real estate.) It is subject to highly specific rules and regulations, which vary by state, and even by memorial park. For any sale of cemetery property to ‘go through’, all the necessary legal documentation must be in order, and the transfer approved by the cemetery. For cemetery properties located within our Southern California we operate a full service brokerage. As a licensed California Cemetery Broker (License #CEB 1512), we handle all direct coordination, market valuations, and the required transfer paperwork to ensure a fully compliant and secure transaction.

Absolutely. When you purchase a burial plot or cremation niche through our licensed brokerage, you receive the exact same interment rights and endowment care guarantees as if you purchased directly from the cemetery. We rigorously verify the deed, guarantee clear title, and manage the official transfer securely with the cemetery’s administration to ensure a fully compliant and legally-valid transfer.

Families frequently end up owning or inheriting cemetery properties which they have no personal plans to use, due to relocation, changing plans or a myriad of reasons. In such instances they may seek to release the value tied up in the plots, and make them available to another family who needs them. Bayer Cemetery Brokers assists families who no longer need their previously-purchased cemetery plots with the sale of those spaces. Because these families wish to liquidate their unused assets, we are able to offer premium resting places—including side-by-side companion plots and private estates—at 30% to 60% below current retail cemetery prices.

Yes. To make end-of-life planning as affordable and accessible as possible, Bayer Cemetery Brokers proudly offers 0% interest installment plans for up to 3 years (36 months) on pre-need property purchases. This allows families to secure their legacy and choose the perfect final resting places for their loved ones, locking in both the location and price at today’s market rates, and to space the payments out over time.

Transfer fees and endowment care fees vary significantly by memorial park. We have no control over transfer fees, which are charged by the cemetery for processing paperwork. During our brokerage process, all applicable fees are clearly outlined in writing in the purchase agreement. Our secure, transparent process ensures that all transfer fees are appropriately handled and paid directly to the cemetery so the final deed is correctly registered in the buyer’s name.

As Southern California’s premier cemetery broker, we actively buy and sell private resale plots across all major Los Angeles memorial parks. We have extensive, daily experience navigating the specific transfer processes at Rose Hills Memorial Park in Whittier, Inglewood Park Cemetery, and all Forest Lawn locations including Hollywood Hills, Glendale, and Covina Hills.

The timeline varies depending on each specific memorial park’s internal procedures, current volume of transfers to process and many other factors outside our control. However, for high-demand parks like Forest Lawn, Rose Hills, and Inglewood Park Cemetery, our 27 years of dedicated experience means we know which documents are required for each unique circumstance. We always submit pre-verified paperwork and co-ordinate with the cemetery on our clients’ behalf. This ensures the fastest possible legal transfer of your property deed, avoiding the common errors and delays associated with private peer-to-peer sales.
