Grave Decisions: Where Real Estate Is Still Hot

Wall St. Journal:  “For nearly 20 years, John Dotson planned to spend eternity at Block 29L, Lot 58, Site 1DD at Parklawn Memorial Park in Rockville, Md.  Heaven will have to wait.  Plagued by a series of misfortunes at home, from job loss to multiple illnesses, Mr. Dotson has decided to put the double plot he had bought for himself and his wife up for sale. “Things got really tight,” he says, and his wife has come around to the idea of cremation.  He purchased the plot in 1990 for about $1,500, and though the cemetery now values it at $4,555, Mr. Dotson says he would gladly unload it for around $2,800.”
