Cemetery Contracts for 2013

cemetery mowing grounds maintenance — 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.

Fall in the Cemetery – Grave Care Autumn 2012

I 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.

Spring Time Grave Care – January 2012

Grave Care in Springtime — Springtime Grave Care

Springtime is just around the corner and you have an ideal opportunity to build clients for your Grave Care Business as winter weather dwindles and warmer temperatures make your potential customers realize the importance of proper grave care, plot maintenance, gravestone cleaning, and springtime floral grave decorations.

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.

If you haven’t started your grave care business yet, right now is a great time to start. If you need help, we have developed a professionally produced Grave Care Business course that will teach you practically everything you need to know to start a successful Grave Care Business.

Grave Care Maintenance for Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day is one of the best weekends of the year for anyone involved in the Grave Care Maintenance Business.

Hi Everyone. I hope you are all having a great spring and that your Grave Care Business is going great guns so far this year.

I just want to take a couple minutes to jump on here to remind you that Mother’s Day is this weekend (May 05, 2010). Mother’s Day is one of the best weekends of the year for anyone involved in the Grave Care Maintenance Business.

Spring is a time of heavy grass growth. If you are performing plot maintenance for your customers, this is a perfect weekend to acquire new customers and add addition services to your current customers’ contracts. Also many people want decorations placed at their Mother’s grave site so it looks good all weekend, especially on Sunday. Your floral supplier should be able to stock you with plenty of decoration for your customers. Also, remember to speak with your floral suppliers on Monday. Many of them will be left with excess inventory that they will sell you at a great discount. You can pass the savings along to your customers next week.

As you are attracting new customers this weekend, don’t neglect to speak with them about yearly contracts and your package deals for holidays.
