No, it is never to late to buy a burial plot. In fact, my dad didn't get burial plots for our family until he was in his 50's. It will be very benefical in the long run to have them just in case of an unexpected crisis. My dad made a good decision by doing that, because just at one particular moment when something happens unexpectedly, he was very much prepared when the time came. Also it would be good to purchase burial plots because you want to know that you and everyone in the family will be buried next to each other, rather than being buried by people you don't know. Hope this helps....

Yes. It is wise to do so at any age. The younger the better as far as I am concerned. In my opinion, it is also wise to get a pre-paid funeral plan. That way your loved ones don't have to stress out with the process and details of a funeral. I don't know if you ever handled a funeral for anyone, but it is very stressful. All you can think about is your loved one that passed away. Your mind is not concentrating on details and money which is a huge part of it. And they want to sell you everything! If you are grieving, stressed and emotionally weak, they can sell you stuff you'd never buy! I have a double plot already and am looking for a "good" pre paid plan.
You are doing the right thing, don't worry about it. You are saving your family a lot of stress and heartache. God bless you.

Yes, a bit odd. But if you're one of those "plan ahead" kinda people, it's probably wise. Plots are not getting any cheaper, and the ones with the good view will soon be scarce.
On the other hand, you have so much living to do, there is no way to know where you would like to be buried in 50 years.

I don't think it is a very good idea yet, because what happens if you decide to move away in a few years time? That would mean your body would have to travel a long way. You will probably be around a lot longer yet, so I think you should keep that money and put it into investments. That way if you invest your money wisely you could end up with more money when you are gone, to put into both your plot and funeral.

If you get a good deal on it and it's where you want your mortal remains to be. Say, a family plot or favorite place. In some places, desirable burial grounds do fill up.

Well, I guess you asked this in "Dining Out" because it makes good dinner conversation, right?
But ... why buy now, unless you're sure you know where you'll be for the rest of your life? My wife's parents bought plots in NY, but much later they retired & moved to CA. She became a widow and then bought a plot for her deceased hubby in CA so she could still be close enough to visit the grave. The plots in NY will be for sale one of these days - if anybody wants them.

If you are sure that you want to be buried it is never too early to buy a plot. They are only going to get more expensive. I will be 40 next month and have my service planned down to the music...Kinda weird but hey it's my last party I want things to be right:)

You can be guaranteed of two things.... One day you will need it and it's never going to get any cheaper.
If you change your mind about your final resting place you can always sell it on E-Bay. Maybe you could sell the television rights to your funeral to but the burial plot. Maybe someone might like to advertise on your coffin.

It doesn't seem all that odd. I suppose if you are really sure about where you will want to be buried, then sure it makes sense to get that taken care of. Just like it makes sense for you to discuss your wishes with your spouse or next of kin. You never know what may happen, and no one wants to make those kind of arrangements when they aren't sure what the deceased would have wanted. Having discussed it may ease the pain on those left behind.
