Us After Death

For Buyers: How do I search for burial plots, columbariums, or memorial items?

Simply go to the Browse tab to see all current listings. You can also use the filtering options to narrow your search by location, type of space, or other preferences, making it easy to find exactly what you’re looking for.

For Buyers: How do I know if a listing is available or verified?

Sellers are asked to update the status of their listing every 7 days, and at Us After Death, we verify each listing before it’s allowed to be posted. This ensures buyers can trust that all listings are accurate and up to date.

For Buyers: Can I contact the seller before making a purchase?

Yes! You can message the seller directly within the Us After Death platform. We encourage keeping all conversations on the site and ask any questions you have about the listing to ensure clarity and security.

For Buyers: How is payment handled and kept secure?

All payments on Us After Death are placed into escrow until both the buyer and seller have signed the notarized transfer/ownership documents. Once the documents are complete, the payment is securely released to the seller. Do not pay for anything outside the Us After Death platform, as we cannot secure your payment or process refunds outside the site—this is very important for your protection.

For Buyers: What happens after I submit a purchase request?

Once you submit a purchase request, your payment is placed in escrow. You will receive an email with a link to complete your Buyer Pre-Notarization Form, which gathers the necessary information so we can schedule your notary meeting and finalize the new ownership transfer documents.

For Buyers: How do I schedule a notary meeting for my purchase?

You don’t need to schedule the notary yourself. Us After Death will send you an email with instructions to meet with a notary. Notaries are available 24/7 for your convenience, and they will have all the necessary documents ready for you to sign.

For Buyers: Can I buy a gift card for someone else to use on the site?

Yes! When you purchase a gift card, you can choose to email it directly to the recipient or save the code to send at a later date—making it easy to give the gift of planning ahead.

For Buyers: What documents will I receive once ownership is finalized?

Once ownership is finalized, you will receive notarized copies of the Deed of Ownership or Agreement of Ownership, which you can present to the location to confirm your ownership. The facility will also automatically receive a copy via email once the documents have been notarized and signed.

For Sellers: How do I list a burial plot, columbarium, or memorial item?

First, sign up with Us After Death and add your listing. Once submitted, you’ll receive an email with a Seller Listing Registration Form to complete, including all listing details and the required ownership/transfer documents. Once your submission is reviewed and approved, your listing will be made public and visible to buyers.

For Sellers: Do I need to provide proof of ownership to list?

Yes. You will be asked to submit proof of ownership as part of the Seller Listing Registration Form to ensure your listing is verified and secure for buyers.

For Sellers: Can I set my own price, or is it guided by the platform?

You can set your own price for your listing. As a suggestion, top-performing sellers often list their memorial spaces around 20% below retail to attract buyers more quickly.

For Sellers: How do I communicate safely with potential buyers?

You can message potential buyers directly within the Us After Death platform. For security and transparency, we encourage keeping all conversations on the site. Be sure to respond to questions within one day to keep buyers engaged. You’ll also receive an email notification each time a new message is sent to you.

For Seller: Is there a fee to list or sell an item?

It’s completely free to list on Us After Death for as long as you need. Once you sell an item, there is a $150 fee for memorial spaces sold under $1,000, and a 15% fee for memorial spaces sold at $1,000 or more.

For Seller: How do I finalize the sale after the buyer and I agree on price?

Once you and the buyer agree on a price, the payment is placed into escrow. You and the buyer will then meet with a notary to sign the ownership transfer documents, ensuring the transaction is secure and official.

For Seller: What happens during the free notary meeting?

The transfer documents you provided during the Seller Listing Registration Form are completed by Us After Death and submitted to the notary. You and the buyer will then meet with the notary to sign the documents. Notaries are available 24/7 for your convenience.

For Seller: When and how do I receive payment after the sale is complete?

One business day after both you and the buyer have signed the notarized transfer agreement, your payment will be sent directly to your Stripe account.
