An IPO to RIP in Silicon Valley dailynews.yahoo.com SAN JOSE, Calif. (Reuters) - If you want to RIP in Silicon Valley, you had better score that IPO. Northern California's high-tech economic boom has already caused housing prices to rocket. Now graveyard real estate is following suit -- with four-person burial plots in San Mateo's Skylawn Memorial Park going for $265,000. While plots in other local graveyards were significantly cheaper, all were showing a sharp upward trend, the San Jose Mercury News reported on Friday. ``It's demand, like anything else,' John Milne, director of family services at San Jose's Oak Hill Memorial Park, told the newspaper. ``You can buy a cemetery lot in Iowa for $100. Here, the average price is about $3,400.' A survey of local graveyards found that at Oak Hill, a plot which sold for $1,250 in 1987 was valued recently at $3,720. At Chapel of the Chimes in nearby Hayward, a plot with $2,500 in 1987 is now worth more than $12,000, the newspaper said. Skylawn leads the pack in graveyard price inflation, however, a fact industry analysts attribute to its unobstructed views of Silicon Valley's hills and ``ethnic marketing' targeting wealthy Asian-American families. At Skylawn, three of the four available $265,000 family plots have already been snapped up, according to cemetery general manager Margo Scolari. ``I think Skylawn is the most expensive park' in the Bay Area, she said. But she added that she wasn't worried her clientele would opt to be buried elsewhere. ``People are willing to pay for the value that they receive,' she said.
