Selling through a business broker can take 18-24 months. EasyOffer purchases funeral home properties directly for cash, whether the mortuary license is active or the facility has been closed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sell my funeral home if it is no longer licensed or operating?
Yes. We buy funeral home properties regardless of licensing status. Whether the mortuary license is active, has lapsed, or was surrendered, we purchase the real estate as-is.
What happens to the embalming room, prep area, and crematorium?
We buy the property with all preparation rooms, embalming infrastructure, cremation equipment, and chapel areas in place. No decommissioning or removal is needed before closing.
Do I need to address chemical storage or hazardous material issues?
No. Funeral homes use formaldehyde, embalming chemicals, and other regulated substances. We handle any chemical storage compliance, disposal, and environmental matters after closing.
What if there are pre-need funeral contracts with unresolved obligations?
Pre-need contract obligations are typically tied to the business entity, not the real estate. We focus on purchasing the property itself. You should consult with your attorney about transferring or fulfilling outstanding pre-need contracts.
Can I sell a funeral home with a cemetery on the same property?
Yes, though cemetery parcels involve additional legal requirements under Virginia law. We have experience structuring sales that properly account for burial grounds and perpetual care obligations.
How quickly can I close on a funeral home sale in Chesapeake?
Most funeral home property sales close in 14-30 days after offer acceptance, depending on the complexity of the facility and any outstanding licensing or regulatory matters.
What Our Sellers Say
“My mom passed and I inherited her place in Antioch. It needed a ton of work and I live out of state so I couldn't deal with contractors or showings. They came out, looked at it, and had a number for me the next day. We closed in 9 days. The whole thing was so much easier than I expected.”
Inherited Property
“Honestly I was skeptical at first because I'd heard horror stories about cash buyers lowballing people. But they explained exactly how they came up with the number and it was fair. We were behind on payments and they got everything done in a week. No last-minute changes, no surprises at closing.”
Avoided Foreclosure
“My husband got transferred to Dallas and we had about three weeks to figure out the house. A friend told us about EasyOffer. They gave us a cash offer that same afternoon and worked around our move date. We closed 11 days later without having to do a single showing or open house.”
