gmac17 Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 Just got a telemarketing call that I won a free burial plot at a cemetery about 20 miles from my house. Pretty funny stuff. Luckily I qualified for the prize (seriously, they pretend to have qualification requirements - other than "not dead" I guess). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattyT Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 Unlike the jelly of the month club, a burial plot is a gift that gives exactly once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmac17 Posted February 7, 2005 Author Share Posted February 7, 2005 I wonder if I could use it for storage in the meantime? or Maybe put a deck on there and get some sun in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuckincincy Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 Ask them if it's a land contract or an outright deeding. If it's a deed, take it and pay the tax, and will it to your heirs (or use it)... In a hundred years, they might be able to hold out for millions if the graveyard gets redeveloped.
