In some states real estate agents can broker plot sales.

Cemetery plots are very hard to unload, plus they aren't a very good investment. Worse still, even if you own the plot, you had better be sure that all the other costs have been covered. When you die, it's nice to have, but you may still owe for internment (or burial,) a vault (that supposedly keeps the body and casket from sinking or resurfacing,) and the stone (or memorial.)
Under some circumstances, the cemetery might be willing to repurchase the plots, but don't hold your breath. The best chance is to put them in some kind of classified ad and hope that someone is looking for one (or so.) Craig's List, EBay, or Overstock.com might also be good places to unload them. Good Luck.

How about on E-bay or try retirement homes or assisted living homes if you are good with people all you need is one or two in a home and the word of mouth will spread fast most of the people there are looking for someone to talk to you can look at helping to set up the hole thing for them the casket, the funeral that way you can get a commission from 3 or more places.

talk to the people that control the funeral homes, take the money you could afford on a few classified ads and promote yourself (flyers around the cemetary area, give the funeral homes incentives so they can recommend your company). also try hospitals, they usually have bereavement services that they provide to those who have lost a loved one, that could be a good place to supply your flyers.

Contact some local funeral directors. Many times they see families who don't have plots. Maybe offer to share some of the proceeds or give a fair discount on the price. You might be able to deduct the value on your income tax if you donate them to a qualifying entity.

How about calling an old folks home, and telling them they should lock in their plot, before the price goes up.
