What happens when a business broker lists a cemetery as having $10 million in future revenue potential for just $599,000? In this episode, Mills Snell and Heather Endresen break down an unusual acquisition opportunity: a long-established cemetery in rural West Virginia with more than 2,200 unsold burial plots, a house, office, warehouse, and a perpetual care fund included in the sale.

Key Highlights:
- Cemetery listed for $599,000 with claims of over $10 million in future burial plot revenue potential.
- More than 2,286 burial plots remain unsold, despite the cemetery operating since the late 1960s.
- Hosts discuss the rise of cremation and how burial trends impact cemetery economics.
- Significant questions around perpetual care funds, prepaid plots, deferred revenue, and regulatory requirements.
- Potential buyer concerns include customer concentration with local funeral homes and the extremely rural location.
