Who knew? If you’re in the market for cemetery plots at bargain-basement prices, apparently the go-to place is…the women’s locker room at the gym. At least that’s where our submitter in East Lansing, Michigan spotted this notice (which was clearly not penned by Hemingway).
Happy “WTF?” Friday, everyone!

It seems the passive-aggressive element in this note is also dead.
(Seriously, I see nothing PA in this at all, yo.)

Sell it? I think anyone that knows anything about real property knows renting it out is a much better option. That way, it’s still available for when they need it later.

…That’s a pretty damn good deal. I’d be shocked if they hadn’t had several inquiries already, if they haven’t actually sold it.

does this mean the buyer spends eternity with the rest of the seller’s family? maybe the buyer will like them better than mom did. …

Go ahead, put your mouth all over this cemetery plot. Everybody else does. God weeds out the weak.

Not so much passive aggressive, as WAY creepy. Happy Friday the 13th, ya’ll!

I love that the name of the cemetery grounds is Deepdale.

They only need $500 for Mom’s cremation?
Who did they hire..the Kingsford Funeral and BBQ Home?
Mourner: “Nice repast. That brisket tasted of mesquite.”
Son: “Actually, it tasted of M–”
Aunt Mabel: “YES! Um, Mesquite!!”

This one could have been boring, but it has a good plot.

Anyone else think that Deepdale is a bit of a cynical name for a cemetary?

why didn’t they hold on to it – are they planning never to die?

My friend’s mother once made a couple of grand selling a cemetery plot after she changed her mind about where she’d like to be buried. She got a taste for the easy cash and now does a brisk business in cemetery plot trading. All very discreetly of course.
