With all the rain we received during June and July, grave plots and entire cemeteries are becoming overgrown.
This summer of above average rainfall is having dramatic effects. Grass is growing high and creeping over grave markers, shrubbery is getting out-of-control and obscuring epitaph inscriptions, and increased humidity is causing tomb stones to mildew quicker than normal. While grave care business owners normally keep a busy schedule during the summer months, there is a greater-than-normal demand for grave care services this year.
If you already own a grave care business, you are probably used to being able to slow down for the last week of July and part of August. This year, due to increased precipitation, you are probably noticing increased demand for your grave care services. This is a good thing, right? Well, we like to take time off, too. However, an increase in demand for your grave care services means that you can make more money than normal. In this economy, more money is a good thing.
Don’t get burned out.
The increased demand in grave care, plot maintenance, and tombstone cleaning is likely to last throughout the rest of the summer. As soon as summer begins to wind down autumn will be right around the corner and it will bring its own increased demand for services such as leaf cleanup and grass seeding before winter sets in. Once winter gets here, demand for Christmas and holiday floral decorations will increase dramatically.
So, pace yourself. There is a lot of work to be done between now and the end of the year and there is a lot of money to be made, too.
