NBC News reported how the price of cemetery plots has been affected by the rising real estate prices.  At the end of the day, cemeteries use up valuable space which can be used for other development purposes, so cemeteries have to pay premium prices to obtain proper land for burial.  Given that most cemeteries are looking for aesthetic appeal in both location and surroundings, the rise in attractive real estate is going to continually affect the price of cemetery plots in the future.  The video can be seen at the link below:
