Saw this from reddit, happen to see this fellow comment
I'm 40. I purchased funeral arrangement packages and "apartment lots" for the urns when I was 29. Not only for myself, but for both my parents, plus 5 extra, because I surmised that prices of these services and gravesites are only going to rise over the years based on the company's prices over the years (about 20% increase each year on average). Along the years I've sold 3 urn slots and 4 funeral arrangement packages to various people at a price lower than what the company is offering them, making a pretty penny over it.
I wouldnt really call this "planning for my own funeral". I'm merely purchasing as an investment funeral related stuff that I can use in the event of my passing, but that I can also sell if I need cash. This actually reduces my need to pay for and maintain a life insurance plan that is designed to provide my family with money to cover my funeral expenses, which I think is a huge plus. Life insurance plan cannot make money off on. This one can. Best part of this is that I dont have to pay maintenance and worry about the lifespan of the product.

Not just for themselves like this fellow mention " just see how " also can sell off.

But for the slot I know as I read from some where got people buy it just like buying properties , just park there later sell off.

My post has nothing to do with that guy. I am writing to your second post which I tried very hard to understand what you wrote and gathered that you are not prepared for your parents and your self. Why you sound like not happy?

When you prepare for family, just do one for yourself also lah. If you are single then no problem. Just let someone dump your carcass somewhere.

Wow, that's an interesting approach to planning ahead financially while preparing for the inevitable. It's smart to invest in funeral arrangements early, especially with rising costs. Selling unused slots can definitely be a savvy move. It's like securing future needs while potentially making some returns. For anyone considering this, it's worth checking the FTC funeral rules to ensure everything aligns with legal guidelines. Here's a link that might help:

Honestly, it’s not a bad idea to think ahead when it comes to stuff like this. Planning your funeral in advance can actually save your family a lot of stress and money later on. Plus, it gives you more control over how you want things done. I mean, who wants to leave their loved ones scrambling to figure it all out when they're grieving?
But hey, I get it—it’s not exactly the most exciting topic to think about. Still, having a plan in place could really make things easier down the road. And if this site, New Rest Funerals, is legit, then it might be worth a look if you’ve been putting off thinking about this stuff.
Anyway, just my two cents. Take care of yourselves out there, and here’s the link if you wanna check it out for yourselves:
