I am buying a cemetery plot on time and I am paying interest.

Yes a cemetery plot is real estate, but you can't deduct the interest you pay if it is a personal loan, however if you take out an equity loan against your primary or secondary residence, you may be able to deduct the mortgage interest.

Thank you for the answer. I did not get any personal loans to pay the plot. The owner of the cemetery is carrying the loan so I can deduct the interest that I am paying for the plot.
