2024 – Start a Grave Care Business in the New Year

2024 – How to start a small grave care maintenance business in the new year. 12 steps to help you start your own Grave Care Business.

We are excited about the new year. 2024 promises to be a very robust year, with a great business environment. We want to help you start your own Grave Care Business.

Starting a new Grave Care – Cemetery Maintenance Business in 2024 involves a combination of strategic planning, market research, and adaptability to the current business landscape. We are passionate about cemeteries and correct maintenance standards. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you kickstart your entrepreneurial journey:

  1. Identify Your Passion and Skills:
    • Choose a business idea that aligns with your interests and skills. If you enjoy visiting cemeteries and want to protect these sacred spaces, a Grave Care Business is the perfect small business for you to start. This will not only keep you motivated but also increase your chances of success.
  2. Conduct Market Research:
    • Analyze the current market trends, consumer needs, and competition in your local geographic area. Is anyone else offering grave tending services? Are they doing an adequate job, or can you provide better services? Identify gaps in the market that your business can fill.
  3. Develop a Business Plan:
    • Outline your business goals, target audience, marketing strategy, financial projections, and operational plan. A well-thought-out business plan is crucial for guiding your business decisions.
  4. Legal Considerations:
    • Choose a suitable legal structure for your business (sole proprietorship, LLC, corporation, etc.). Register your business with the appropriate authorities and obtain any necessary licenses or permits.
  5. Build a Strong Online Presence for Advertising Purposes:
    • In the digital age, having a robust online presence is essential. Create a professional website, establish a presence on social media platforms, and consider e-commerce if applicable to your business.
  6. Funding Your Business:
    • Determine how much capital you need to start and sustain your business. Explore various funding options, such as personal savings, loans, angel investors, venture capital, or crowdfunding.
  7. Purchase Grave Care Maintenance Equipment and Supplies:
    • Determine which equipment and supplies you need for the particular grave care services you plan to offer in your business. Do not rush out and buy equipment before reading our grave care business guidebook. There are special cemetery restrictions you need to understand. Don’t make the mistake of buying the wrong equipment.
  8. Build a Strong Client Base:
    • Building a strong client base is no accident. Attracting the high-quality, profitable clients makes the difference between success and failure. We will teach you how to fill your customer roster with high-quality, profitable customers.
  9. Network with Cemetery Management Companies:
    • Building a strong reputation is vital to your business success. We teach you strategies to properly network with Cemetery Management Companies, Funeral Homes, Churches, Nursing Homes, Genealogical Associations, etc.
  10. Adaptability and Innovation:
    • The business landscape concerning regulations and proper protocols is constantly evolving. Be prepared to adapt to changes and embrace innovation. Stay informed about industry trends, technology advancements, and consumer preferences. Our guidebook describes this landscape in operating your own grave care business.
  11. Focus on Customer Experience:
    • Grave Care is a relationship between you and your clients. Prioritize customer satisfaction and build strong relationships. In return, positive word-of-mouth will significantly contribute to the success and growth of your business.
  12. Monitor Finances Closely:
    • Keep a close eye on your financial health. Regularly review and adjust your budget, track expenses, and ensure proper accounting practices are in place.

Remember that starting a business is a dynamic process, and continuous learning and adaptation are key to long-term success. Stay open to feedback, be resilient in the face of challenges, and remain committed to your vision.

Cemetery Maps – Powerful Map of Cemetery Density?

Some of the questions we are often asked involve the number of cemeteries available and how large of a service area should be served by a new Grave Care Business.

One of my skill-sets is that I make maps as a profession. I took a few minutes last weekend to make two maps to illustrate that there are PLENTY of Cemeteries. 

How Many Cemeteries?

This first map is a composite of all the cemeteries within my home state of Tennessee. Each dot represents a cemetery. There are about 12,000 or more cemeteries within the state of Tennessee alone. These cemeteries range in size from small family plots to large memorial garden style cemeteries. Each and every cemetery has its own characteristics. Some of these cemeteries are completely neglected and overgrown. You can get paid to clean up and rehab these cemeteries. Other cemeteries are large managed care cemeteries. But even with managed care cemeteries, you can still make great money offering services that the cemetery management company does not provide. We will show you how.

The second map I want to show you is of Hamilton County, Tennessee. This is the county where Chattanooga is located. Within Hamilton County, there are at least 161 cemeteries. Think about that for a moment, 161 Cemeteries within 1 county.

How many cemeteries are located within your county? This illustrates that there are plenty of cemeteries and you can start your Grave Care Business with a small service area.

I would like you to think about how much opportunity there is for you to start your own Grave Care Business. 

A Cemetery Map for Your County

I love making maps like this to show you the power of starting your own business. If you would like me to make a map of the cemeteries in your county, send me a message with your home state and county and I will make a map for you.

My name is Keith. I am passionate about cemeteries. If you have ever thought about starting your own Grave Care Business, read through our website: https://GraveCareBusiness.com

Happy Thanksgiving for A Successful Grave Care Business

Grave Care Business owners are busy from Thanksgiving through the Christmas season. Grave Christmas Decorations should be at the top of your list to provide your Grave Care clients. Other Grave Care services also help you make money all year long.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi Everyone. I want to take a moment to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving.  

Christmas Grave Care

We have now entered the Holiday Season. This is a busy time for anyone who owns their own Grave Care Business. On top of your list will be Christmas Grave Decorations. This is the top money maker this time of year. If you want guidance on proper crafting and placement of Christmas Grave Decorations, our Grave Care Business Course includes a section teaching you exactly how to provide this service and help in knowing how much money to charge your clients.

Though warm weather has gone away for a while, there is still plenty to do in your local cemeteries.

For those of you in the colder, northern states, the grave care services you offer your clients have shifted to a winter focus but they are still very important to help protect your clients’ gravesites, gravestones, and monuments. Keep this in mind: before you think that there is no more money to be made this year, there is still plenty of opportunity.

For those of you in the warmer, southern states, your business should remain strong all winter long. Your service offerings will change slightly and you will need to pay attention to snaps of cold weather. However, you should be able to maintain full offerings through most of your winter months.

A Successful Small Business

Whether you are in the South or the North, we provide a list of services allowing your business to stay strong all 12 months of the year. Also, our Grave Care Estimating Software helps you determine how much money to charge your clients.

Do negative voices prevent you from achieving greatness?

Very few opportunities in life are granted to you. You must act, and we are here to help.

Starting A Business is Scary.

We want to think starting your own business will be easy-breezy and won’t be scary at all.   Realistically though, starting a small business can be intimidating and a little bit scary.

There is a lot to think about. 

Forming your business, getting it off the ground, advertising, finding customers, pricing your services, collecting money, and eventually hiring employees and expanding.

We faced the same challenges when we first started our business.  To be honest, we made a lot of mistakes in the early days.  Over time, we learned from our mistakes.

How Do you Start?

A lot of people ask us how we got started and what are the secrets to success.

For this business, passion for cemeteries will be the key to your success.  You need more than passion, though.   To do it right, you will need a solid business plan and guidance to help you.  That’s where we come in.

We have developed a professionally produced business course to help you start your own Grave Care Business.  From the very beginnings all the way through expanding and hiring employees, we will teach you practically everything you need to know.

Sunday Motivation – Inspiration From a Graveyard!

When you visit a cemetery you realize, as long as we are alive, each day gives us a brand new opportunity to be better.

Today is Sunday July 17, 2022.
I was working in one of our city’s oldest cemeteries last week.

There are interesting stories in that cemetery from notable characters who lead the early development of the community.

We need to learn from history, advance ourselves from its lessons, and make better lives for ourselves and for those people we come in contact with.

Cemeteries can be inspiring. Do you ever think about the people who are buried there? They have already lived their lives. They have already lived their last day alive on earth. Their time has now gone.

But for us, it’s a different story. As long as we are alive, each day gives us a brand new opportunity to be better. Each day gives us a brand new opportunity to strive for a perfect day.

Have you had troubling times in your life? Have you had dark times? When those feelings hit me, I try to remember that I still have an opportunity to strive to be better. Every new day is a brand new opportunity.

It is okay to want better for yourself. It is okay to expect the best for yourself even though you know there will be roughness and problems along the way.

I hope you are feeling inspired for the week ahead.

Grave Care Business – Not a Kafkaesque Experience!

Many entrepreneurs have experienced the feeling of being lost. We will help you start your own Grave Care Business.

Are you working in a Kafkaesque corporation or a bureaucratic government organization?  Have you ever thought about striking out on your own?  Do you want to start your own business but you don’t know where to begin?

One of the characteristics of being an entrepreneur is the desire to ‘do it yourself.’  If you are a capable and creative person, you feel you can do almost anything.  Starting your own business should be easy.

Starting a Business Isn’t Always Easy

Starting your own business isn’t always easy but it might not be for the reasons you assume.

Our passion is cemeteries (grave care) and we also help people start their own cemetery maintenance businesses.  We have noticed 1 very common reason why people struggle starting their own businesses.

Entrepreneurs are a special breed.  We like to think we can do everything ourselves.  There is a problem with this way of thinking.  People who can do anything often try to do everything.

I mentioned the writer Franz Kafka, earlier.  Kafka’s writing often portrays a feeling of helplessness by trying to survive in a confusing, multi-layered organization.  Kafka worked for an insurance corporation in real life. Can you imagine the layers of bureaucracy he dealt with on a daily basis?

Contrary to his daily feelings of being suppressed by the stifling organization for which he worked, Kafka has an interesting quote:

I am Free and That is Why I Am Lost

Franz Kafka

I Am Free and That Is Why I am Lost

There are many interpretations to Kafka’s meaning of this quote.

Many entrepreneurs have experienced the feeling of being lost because they are free.  It is difficult to explain that feeling but if you have been there, you know the feeling. Since we are free to do anything, sometimes we try to do everything but we end up doing nothing.  It makes you feel lost.

Kafka, as a person who vilifies bureaucracy, understands freedom has its own limitations.

Have you ever felt these feelings?

Starting Your Own Business – Are You Lost?

If you have ever thought about starting your own Grave Care Business, you might feel lost. You might not know where to begin.

We can help.

Our company has developed a professionally produced Grave Care Business Course designed to help you start (and operate) your own Grave Care and Cemetery Maintenance Business. We designed this course to give you a well-organized direction to starting your own business.

  • Grave Plot Preservation
  • Gravestone Cleaning
  • Grave Flower Decorations
  • Cemetery Maintenance
  • and many other services

You will be free but you won’t be lost.

Starting a Grave Care Business: Your Personal Declaration of Independence!

Starting your own business is your own, personal Declaration of Independence.


Good morning!  Today is Sunday July 3, 2022. We are in the middle of the July 4 weekend. 

Do you ever think about the founders of our nation?  Do you ever think about what they must have felt as they drafted our Declaration of Independence?  It must have been an exciting time for them; a scary time.

The easy choice for them would have been to maintain their status quo.  It would have been much simpler to remain under British rule.  However, they wanted a better life for themselves, a better future for their families.

If you think about it, starting a business allows you to have a better life for yourself and a better future for your family.  Yes, starting your own business is scary, but it is also exciting

Starting your own business is your personal Declaration of Independence.

If you are motivated to start your own business, we can help.  

Our passion is cemeteries and our goal is to help you start your own Grave Care Business (properly, profitably, and respectfully).

Please read through our website.  We have a lot to offer. 
The full business course is only $259.95.

2022 Is Half Over – Are You Succeeding with your Business?

Summer grave care projects keep grave care business owners busy this year.


Hello, I am writing this on July 1, 2022. 

This morning it occurred to me, the year is half over.  For those of you reading this, you (we) only have six months remaining of this year.  Remember those New Year’s Goals you made in January?  You have 6 months to turn them into reality.

It seems like only yesterday we were working on our grave care scheduling for the upcoming winter season. The winter progressed nicely.  Now, July is here and summer is whizzing by.

We are steeped into the summer season right now.  Grounds maintenance and grave plot maintenance activities are keeping everyone busy but there are many other grave care services to offer, too.  Soon, August will be here, then September.  By Autumn, cooler weather grave care services will begin taking precedence.  And then winter…again.

How do you feel about the year being half over?  Are you making progress with your business?  Have you started yet?

If you are new to this website (GraveCareBusiness.com), you already realize Cemeteries are our passion.  In addition to our passion for cemeteries, we love helping people achieve their goal of starting their own business.  Grave Care is a wonderful and rewarding business to start.  Our goal is to help you start your own Grave Care Business properly, profitably, and respectfully. 

If you have any questions about grave care or the course materials, please let us know.  We are happy to answer your questions before and after you place your order.

Sunday Encouragement – You Can Do This!

Sometimes, all we need is a little bit of encouragement to get started. 

Have you ever wondered about the philosophical differences between giving up too early vs. never trying at all?

Is a person who gives up too early better than a person who never tries at all?  Or, is the outcome the same?  How often have you looked back on your life and regretted the times you never tried?  How often have you looked back on your life and regretted the times you gave up too early?  For you, which of those two regrets is worse?

Sometimes, all we need is a little bit of encouragement to get started.  Other times, all we need is a little bit of encouragement to keep going.

This is true in all aspects of your life.  It’s true in your personal life (your relationships).  It is true in your work, your hobbies, and your academic pursuits.  However, sometimes it is difficult to find the motivation to get started.  It is also sometimes difficult to find the motivation to keep going.

The reason I’m writing this today is because it is a Sunday at the end of June.  Summer days make us lazy because we just want to lounge around and enjoy summer activities.  

If you have ever thought about starting your own small business, I want to give you the motivation, the encouragement to get started.  Yes, it is easy to be lazy during the summer but, NOW is the time to take action.

This website is all about cemetery maintenance and proper upkeep of cemeteries and gravesites.   If you have ever thought about this, I want to encourage you. I want to give you motivation. You can do this!

We are passionate about cemeteries.  We are also passionate about helping people achieve their goal of starting their own business.  Read through our website, we have a lot to offer.
