For Those Who Like Quiet Neighbors, Buy a Church and Adjoining Cemetery on Craigslist for under $100K !!!
Yes. You can own both a church and a cemetery and live in them too!!! That is, if you don’t mind living with about 50 other permanent residents, all of whom are reportedly very quiet and peaceful.
And if you have kids, what’s better than have a cemetery as your playground? C’mom, who doesn’t like playing hide and go seek in a graveyard? And just think of the Halloween parties!
Here’s part of the description on Craigslist:
I am an Artist selling my lovely Art Studio in the Catskills- which was once a church! WHICH MAKES THE PERFECT HOME ! and the good news…it is under 90 miles from New York City! That is right! You can drive an hour and a half and have this Open Loft-like space for your Art Studio, business or your weekend Home! I use it for all !
I bought the building about 5 years ago with the hope of renovating it to be more like a home….and, sadly, my permanent home in Jersey City was destroyed by SANDY- so finances have forced me to sell this amazing weekend Home and getaway Art Space .
Well, after spending all my savings fixing the Jersey home…it looks like I am forced to sell my upstate getaway.
But- my loss is your gain.
I am selling this GEM for the same price that I paid for it in 2009- just $99,000
And here are some photos:
The Feels and Funnies: 13 Death Related Photos I Found on the Internet
1. I would go. Free pizza and death. It’s a no brainer.
2. Via Growing Bolder: After watching her husband, mother, father and mother-in-law suffer lingering deaths, 81-yea-old grandmother Joy Tompkins got ‘Do Not Resuscitate’ on her chest and ‘PTO’ (Please Turn Over) on her back.
Tompkins, who lives in Norfolk in the UK says, ‘I do not want to be half dead, I want to be fully dead. It might have been different when I was 51 but I am 81 now. Everybody has to die sometime but I do not want to end up as a vegetable. I am afraid that the medical profession will, with the best of medical intentions I hope, keep me alive when I don’t want to be alive. I don’t want to lie for hours, months or even years before dying. I don’t want my family to remember me as a lump.” — 
3. From Imgur: “My grandma wanted to see the ocean one last time before checking into hospice. Her face says it all.”
4. “Everything can be completed in the comfort of your own home.” Hmmmm. This kind of sounds suspicious to me : / 
5. Neil deGrasse Tyson dropping truth bombs.
6. Just when you thought Nicolas Cage was immortal, he goes out and buys a pyramid tombstone. Via Examiner 
7. Kimberly shared this picture with me on my “Confessions of a Funeral Director” facebook wall. Keep it classy, Dignity. 
8. This is actually a REALLY good deal. 
9. From Garth:
10. Best Halloween party setup ever
11. Ever since I was a child (Chronicles of Narnia fan), I’ve loved C.S. Lewis.
12. This is me at the 2014 National Funeral Directors Association Convention in Nashville (I led a session on social media and transparency). Alkaline hydrolysis anyone?
