Seller's Guide

How This Works

• Create a verified seller account and submit accurate ownership documents.
• List your burial plots, niches, crypts, or memorial items with complete and accurate details.
• Buyers submit payment into escrow via approved platforms (Stripe, PayPal, etc.).
• Complete notarized transfer documents promptly; funds are released after notarization.
• Maintain all communication within the Us After Death platform for security and compliance.
• Update listing status at least every 7 days to ensure accuracy.
• Burial plots, mausoleum crypts, and columbarium niches are exempt from sales tax. If you sell any items that do require sales tax (such as memorial products or add-ons), you must include the tax in the final price you give the buyer and you are responsible for sending that tax to your state.
• All sales are final once notarized transfer is completed.

Using the Custom Order Form

Sometimes buyers request a specific location, pair of niches, companion burial plots, or modified pricing. In these cases, Sellers should create a Custom Order Listing by cloning an existing product and customizing it for that buyer.

What You Can Customize:

• Exact section, row, or niche numbers
• Private pricing for a buyer you’ve already spoken with
• Description and notes for unique agreement terms
• Attachments, images or documentation specific to the location
• Hidden listing visibility (accessible only by link)

Tip: This feature is ideal when a buyer messages you inside the platform and asks for a personalized package or a specific configuration. Custom links allow buyers to check out securely through escrow while keeping the listing private.

Best Practices

• Respond to all buyer inquiries within 24–72 hours to maintain trust and visibility.
• Price competitively; top-performing listings are often ~20% below retail.
• Provide clear, high-quality photos and videos within the platform only.
• Ensure all ownership documents are current and verified before listing.
• Use Marketplace checkout exclusively; avoid off-platform payments.
• Follow all applicable laws and platform policies when selling memorial items.
• Keep listings accurate and updated; remove items that are no longer available.

Dos & Don’ts

• Provide complete and accurate listing information.
• Communicate only through the Us After Death platform.
• Complete notarized transfer documents promptly.
• Update your listing status weekly.
• Follow the Official Seller Plan rules and service fee structure (18%).
• Price fairly and transparently, including full payment requirements.

• Conduct off-platform sales or accept payments outside Marketplace checkout.
• Share private contact info or request buyers to contact you directly.
• Misrepresent ownership, pricing, or item condition.
• Ignore buyer inquiries—this may redirect buyers to other listings.
• List items as “down payment only” or request partial payments outside BNPL options.
• Post offensive, fraudulent, or misleading content.
• Violate platform or legal policies; fines or account suspension may apply.
