Though this winter has been mild over much of the country, grave sites and entire cemeteries will need routine maintenance and general sprucing up. Old floral decorations will need to be removed and replaced with springtime colors. Ground erosion needs to be remedied, fallen branches should be removed, remaining leaves need to be blown away, and fresh seed needs to be sown to assure a good stand of grass to beautify the grave plots. Proper grass seed is especial important around plots on a hillside because spring rains often cause problematic erosion.
Managed care cemeteries often do much of this work. However, many of your clients will hire you to perform detailed work to assure it is done right. Also, most cemeteries do not have full-time maintenance crews and grave plots within those cemeteries need additional work to assure they are properly maintained. Families of the loved-ones buried there are willing (especially this time of year) to pay to have a professional do the work for them.
Let’s not forget; Valentine’s Day is February 14 and Easter is April 8. These dates are very important and you will be able to acquire many customers who will pay you to place special grave side decorations to honor their loved-ones.
This is a very important time of the year for your Grave Care Business.
