Grave Care – Father’s Day and July 4th 2013

Father's Day Grave Site Maintenance
Father’s Day Grave Maintenance

Summer is a busy month for grave care.

Hi Everyone:

This is Keith with Grave Care Business. The year is flying by and I just want to make note of the great opportunities in Grave Care for the rest of the summer.

If you already own your own Grave Care Business, I hope you took advantage of Mother’s Day and Memorial Day. .

Mother’s day brought heavy demand for floral decorations and plot beautification. Now is not a time to rest, though, since we have a few busy months ahead.

Father’s Day is Sunday June 16.
Independence Day is Thursday July 4.

While these two days garner enough demand for grave care services by themselves, they are coupled with the fact that we are now into the summer upkeep season. Grass is growing out of control, weeds are invading (and in some cases destroying) grave markers, and shrubs around grave plots are in dire need of proper pruning. Add this to normal grave care services such as floral decorations, tombstone cleaning, and documentation efforts such as photography and cemetery mapping, and we have a very busy few months ahead of us.

Grave care is a wonderful niche business and summer is a great time to establish a solid customer base before we move into the busy autumn months of grave care.

If you have ever wanted to start a Grave Care Business but you don’t know where to begin, we have developed a comprehensive Grave Care Business Course designed to help you start and operate a successful Grave Care Business.

Grave Care – Mother’s Day and Easter 2013

Grave Care Mother's Day Easter
Grave Care for Mother’s Day and Easter
Hi Everyone:

This is Keith with GraveCareBusiness.com

I’m just working on a quick blog post to remind you that we have TWO really, really big dates coming up in March and May of this year.

Easter is March 31, 2013 and
Mothers Day is May 12, 2013.

If you operate a grave care business, I cannot emphasize the importance enough of Easter and Mother’s Day. Outside of the Christmas season, these two dates are arguably the most important time of year for grave decorations, general plot maintenance, and tombstone cleaning.

It’s spring time and people want their family’s grave sites cared for and decorated correctly. Oftentimes, adult children have moved away from their hometowns or are otherwise unable to care for their parents’ grave sites. They will gladly pay good money to have someone care for the plots, decorate the grave sites, and properly clean the tombstones.

So, if you are already operating your Grave Care Business, be sure to remind all your clients of the special services you are offering this year. Let them know that your schedule is tight and they need to schedule your services as soon as possible.

If you have yet to start your business, there is probably no better time to start than right now. Grave care customers are relatively easy to acquire any time of year. But, right now is a particularly opportune time to build a strong client list.

If you have ever thought about starting a Grave Care Business, we have developed a comprehensive Grave Care Business course that will teach you practically everything you need to know to start and operate a successful Grave Care Business. Please visit our website (click the link to our home page above) to learn all we offer. Get started now and you will be up and running in prime time to gain clients for Easter and Mother’s Day.

Cemetery Contracts for 2013

Cemetery Grounds Maintenance Contracts

It is time to bid your Cemetery contracts.

In addition to the people that start grave care businesses providing floral decorating, tombstone cleaning, and individual plot maintenance, we also help people who want to provide wide-scale cemetery upkeep.

This side of the grave care business is largely comprised of mowing, trimming, and general landscape maintenance. For most large cemeteries, this work is bid out on a contract basis and will allow you (if you bid correctly) to make great money for your work. Cemetery landscape maintenance contracts are normally bid during the first quarter of the year. Generally, cemetery contracts are drafted either by a cemetery management companies or a city/county government agencies that oversee cemeteries.

Our Grave Care Business tutorial provides provides a very good section that deals specifically with bidding on cemetery upkeep contracts. Proper bidding protocols must be followed and it is often intimidating for business owners who are new to bidding.

If you are interested in the landscape maintenance side of the business or if you are mainly interested in individual plot maintenance and tombstone cleaning, please click over to out website homepage where you can learn about our Grave Care Business course. If you have any questions for us, please let us know. We are always happy to help.

Cemetery Leaf Cleanup

Cemetery Cleanup
Cemetery and Plot Maintenance is important for grave care

Cemeteries and grave plots require leaf cleanup work as we move into winter.

I just returned from a trip to upstate New York where it was chilly and snowy. Yet, even in the northern climates, cemeteries and grave plots still need lots of attention so they can be maintained through the winter. Leaf care, snow maintenance, and winterization are just three of the jobs requested of grave care business owners in the north.

Now that I have returned home to a more southern climate, I am reinvigorated with the thoughts of the amount of work (profitable business) still to be done in area cemeteries this year. Leaves are still falling, dead branches litter the ground from a recent storm, and next year’s grass should be planted NOW. Not only are regular maintenance duties calling but holiday grave site decorations are going to be in HUGE demand for the next four weeks.

Hurricane Damage to New York Area Cemeteries

This morning’s New York Times has an article relating to damage in Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, New York.

Green-Wood is known for many fine examples of large flourishing trees. Unfortunately, as trees grow larger, their vulnerability to high winds increases. As we have all seen, damage resulting from Hurricane Sandy is taking its toll on north-eastern states and will take months to clean up.

While Green-Wood Cemetery is the focus of this article, scores of cemeteries have been affected by the storm. Some cemeteries have downed trees that caused irreparable damage to tombstones and monuments. Other cemeteries have minor damage like small branches and twigs that need to be tidied. Professionally managed cemeteries like Green-Wood have crew and financial resources to begin the cleanup but countless other cemeteries rely on volunteers and family members for repair and maintenance.

It is unfortunate that this damage has occurred and I dislike the idea of benefiting on other people’s misfortune. If you are in an area of the country that has been affected by severe weather, family members of people buried in area cemeteries are looking for help with cleanup and general maintenance. In fact, they are often willing to pay for these services.

So, if you have ever thought about starting your own Grave Care Business, right now is a good time to start. The weeks leading up to Christmas is always a busy time for Grave Care and with the need of grave care services caused by severe weather, there will be additional demand.

We love cemeteries and we believe that small Grave Care Businesses can benefit by providing general upkeep, tombstone cleaning, floral decorations, and other services. We have developed a professionally produced business course that will help you start and operate a successful Grave Care Business.

Fall in the Cemetery – Grave Care Autumn 2012

Tomb Stones and Fall LeavesI love this time of year and I love being able to spend my days working in leaf covered cemeteries.

As October draws to a close, leaves’ colors are reaching their peak. I was working in the cemetery today and I snapped a few pictures to share with you. If you have ever thought about starting a small business offering Grave Care Services right now is a perfect time to get started. October and November are very active months for grave care. Leaf cleanup is an important part of plot maintenance during autumn. There are also many other services to offer while the weather is still warm. Additionally, the next few months are rich with “special days.” Your customers are very sincere about wanting special decorations place on their loved-ones’ gravesites. Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas are only the most visible days for which customers order special decorations. There are many other occasions, too.

If you want to get started with your own grave care business, look at our main website. We have developed a professionally produced business course that will teach you practically everything you could want to know about starting and operating a successful grave care business.

Here are a couple photos of today’s autumn colors…

Autumn Grave Care and Cemetery Maintenance

Autumn Grave Maintenance
Beautiful Autumn Cemetery
As summer’s effects diminish, autumn’s colors accentuate the beauty of almost every cemetery I visit. I love this time of year and as we journey headlong into the fall season cemetery & grave maintenance and grave care duties will become more enjoyable and more abundant.

Ahhhh….FALL. Leaves change colors and litter the ground with their crunchy golden gown. As pretty as fall colors are, they bring tremendous opportunities for everyone operating grave care businesses. Fall cleanup is a busy time of year in cemeteries as leaves must be cleared away. It is also a time of year when bright summer floral grave decorations give way to more seasonally appropriate colors. Additionally, it is a perfect time of year to perform minor landscaping jobs (as cemetery regulations allow), tombstone cleaning, and pre-winter prep.

If you run a grave care business, it will pay you to inform your clients about your autumn grave care services. The next few months will be very busy for you.

If you haven’t started your grave care business yet, we would like to invite you to learn about our Grave Care Business course. This is a comprehensive training course that will teach you practically everything you need to know to start and operate a successful Grave Care Business.

Grave Decorations and Plot Maintenance for Father’s Day

Father's Day Grave Site Maintenance
Father's Day Grave Maintenance
Father’s Day is Sunday June 17, 2012.

Traditionally, Father’s Day is one of the busier times for Grave Care Companies. Father’s day is an opportunity for family members to visit their father’s grave site and pay respects to him.

While Mother’s Day brings many requests for floral decorations, we have always seen increased “utilitarian” requests for services around Father’s Day. These services include grass mowing (in non-managed cemeteries), detailed trimming, general plot maintenance, and tombstone cleaning.

There are likely reasons for duty oriented tasks on Father’s Day versus Mother’s Day. Father’s Day occurs later in the summer season. Since grass has already had an opportunity to creep over tombstones, detailed trimming at this time of year greatly enhances the looks of a gravesite. Dusty summer conditions have also begun to take their toll and proper cleaning of gravestones is better accomplished when the weather is warm but not too hot.

There are still many requests for grave site flower decorations on Father’s Day. However, Grave Care Companies that offer plot maintenance services in addition to floral decorations should see a great increase in business over the next several weeks.

If you have ever thought about starting a Grave Care Service Business, we have developed a comprehensive training tutorial and business package. Please visit our main website (link above) for more information and ordering instructions.

Grave Care Decorations and Memorial Day: Grave Care Business

Reuben Ferris - Revolutionary War Soldier's Grave Site

Memorial Day is the next big holiday that will have family members thinking about grave care and decorations for their loved ones’ grave sites. Memorial Day is a day of remembering all those who died in Wars while serving in the United States Armed Forces.

Cemeteries such as Arlington and other National Cemeteries have dedicated crews who spend many hours placing decorations on the graves of soldiers. However, most other cemeteries rely on family members to pay special respect to soldiers. Unfortunately, family members are sometimes unable to visit the gravesites of their loved ones. If spouses are in ill-health or family members have moved away, grave sites are often neglected.

If you have ever thought about starting a Grave Care Business, Memorial Day is a perfect time to start.

There is a great need for Grave Care Businesses. The services you offer include: grave site decoration for special days (such as Memorial Day), tombstone cleaning, plot maintenance, and many other services. We have developed a comprehensive training tutorial that will teach you how to start, expand, and successfully operate a Grave Care Business.

If you’re late starting your business, don’t worry. There are plenty of other holidays – such as Father’s Day in June.
