    Buy-to-Die

    How to make money out of dying - Telegraph


    But it was this chance conversation that led me to the rather macabre thought of whether you could make money out of death.


    The father of a friend mentioned that he had bought burial plots for himself and his wife at a local cemetery 20 years ago for just £30 each.

    Today, those plots are worth more than £600 – a potential return of 1,900 per cent.




    I'm buying up 1000's of burial plots and hoping for a return of Swine Flu!

    You're doomed, I'm boomed!

          Yeah, I think it's called contract killing...bit of a risky diversification though
          Clarity is everything

            Mass graves in this case, you might also get some space in it - your grave inheritance wil be taxed accordingly - 100% for being stoopid
