Questions Possibly Related to Arvin, CaliforniaProvided By Y! Answers
How do graveyards make money after they sell off all the plots?
Question:
I just watched the afternoon news & they reported on a new 500 acre VA National Graveyard that will be built just outside of Arvin, California at Tejon Ranch.
It got me to wondering just HOW DOES A GRAVEYARD continue to make enough $$$ to pay their for their property taxes & pay someone to maintain the grounds after all the plots are sold? Where does their income come from, anyway? I never see any advertising at these graveyards!
Answer:
That is a great question! Here in New Orleans, some of our best tourist attractions are our graveyards, or cities of the dead. We have above ground tombs and crypts because of the water table. Some pay over a million for their final resting place.
