There are many lessons to be learned from watching HBO’s critically acclaimed The Sopranos, and in one conversation with his son AJ, mob boss Tony Soprano lays down one of the most important business lessons he’s heard around town. He says, “Buy land, A.J., ‘cause God ain’t making any more of it.” Stop and think about that for a moment. For thousands of years there was time to discover new land, to expand and conquer and develop and build. These days, the world has been mapped mile by mile; we know what’s there, and we know what’s not there. We’ve created borders that bound countries to specific territories, and that means even if there is available land out there, we cannot use it to our benefit.

Land is valuable; and as death is a fact of life, waiting to buy your cemetery plot will only increase your buying price. Be prepared and buy your cemetery plot today.

One thing that will never change on this earth is death. Knowing the limits placed on land, cremation has become a popular alternative to burial as a means of preserving burial space. But for millions, cremation is not an option. Many religions don’t allow followers to be cremated, which means burial grounds will always be important to culture. But as we said before, land is limited, especially in a country as populated as the United States.

When you combine all of this knowledge—that land is limited, and that many religions do not allow cremation—it is clear to see why burial plots have become so valuable and why their value will only increase with time. Owning your own plot, or series of plots for you and your family, may mean that you have a valuable asset. It also means that if you know you want to be buried, buying a plot today is your best option. Land is only getting more valuable as time passes, so you’re only driving the price up by waiting before you buy.
