Dirt cheap: Cemetery sells 2 graves for price of 1
AP
INDIANAPOLIS -It's a buy-one, get-one-free sale — at a cemetery, of all places. Memorial Park Cemetery on Indianapolis' far east side is offering plots at the bargain-basement price in one section of its grounds.
It's not another telling sign of the recession. General Manager Mark McCronklin says it's a promotion the cemetery has run for several years around Memorial Day.
McCronklin says it's just a closeout sale on one section, and the cemetery is doing very well.
Signs along the street outside the cemetery also advertise that no one with bad credit will be turned down.
I buy this guy's story. Why would a cemetary be suffering? Its like my dad used to say EVERY time we passe a cemetary on a road trip, "people are just dying to get in there." And that's true. You have to dispose of a body so why is this guy slashing prices? My great uncle was an undertaker and he never would have done business like this. Amateur.
