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.

Grave Care Made Easier

Grave care is a rewarding and fulfilling business. Providing grave care services in cemeteries that encourage proper maintenance makes this business especially easy.

I love cemeteries that encourage proper maintenance.

Grave care is a rewarding and fulfilling business.  Providing grave care services in cemeteries that encourage proper maintenance makes this business especially easy. 

I visited a cemetery this morning.  I had never been to this cemetery but as soon as I passed through the entry gate, I could tell cemetery management greatly understands the value of proper upkeep.

I was in this cemetery to complete a cemetery mapping project.  However, for grave plot maintenance, gravestone cleaning, and grave decorations, I noticed 3 beneficial attributes.

1) A Source For Water
Gravestone Cleaning requires a source of water.  Carrying your own supply is not difficult but it is much easier in a cemetery that has a water line.

2) A Bin for Rubbish and Old Flowers
Grave decorations are in great demand especially during the holidays. Cemeteries that provide rubbish bins allow you to dispose of old decorations and trash onsite.

3) Clearly Defined Rules
Before taking on clients in an unfamiliar cemetery, I recommend that you understand the cemetery’s rules and regulations.  This cemetery provides a billboard containing their rules for proper maintenance.  Contact information is given at the bottom of the billboard.  This makes it easy to contact cemetery management to discuss my work on their grounds.

One additional benefit I noticed in this particular cemetery is that fresh soil is easily accessible to fill in low spots or areas of erosion.

Grave Care is a fantastic business.  It is rewarding and profitable if you perform your work correctly and understand how to price your services.

Pre-Winter Grave Care

Have you ever thought about starting your own Grave Care Business? Winter cemetery maintenance keeps your business running year-round.

Pre-Winter Grave Care
Pre-Winter Grave Care

…and, just like that, summer was over.

It seems like only days ago we were experiencing the 100° days of September. Then, one day, the mercury did not break 90°. Then, October came and then November and then, in a blink of an eye, we are deep into a frigidly cold spell looking forward to Thanksgiving.

Grave Care is a Great Business

I’ve said it many times that any day working in a cemetery is better than any day working in an office. I will continue to maintain that position but I will admit these frigid days of November are less pleasant than the colorful autumn days of October. Still, there is quite a bit that can be done in cemeteries this time of year and it’s great to be able to operate a Grave Care Business year-round.

The focus of Grave Care shifts during the winter months. In the weeks and days before Christmas, the focus turns primarily toward grave plot upkeep and floral grave decoration change-outs. Being adaptable in your Grave Care Business and having the ability to offer multiple services means you will be able to operate your business all 12 months of the year.

Cemetery Maintenance Services

For Grave Plot upkeep, it’s time to blow away leaves, sow grass seed, prune back damaging tree limbs, and develop an erosion control strategy for susceptible grave sites.

For Grave Decoration Change-Outs, now is the time to remove summer and autumn-colored floral decorations. Replacing old flowers with Christmas or holiday inspired decorations keeps the grave site looking fresh and new. Families who visit their loved-ones’ grave sites over the holiday season will enjoy seeing seasonally appropriate floral decorations.

Also, as we like to point out in our Grave Care Business Course, proper placement of decorations is an important consideration as it will make your Grave Care Company look much more professional.

Halloween Grave Decorations

Grave Care Business owners will be surprised at the cathartic therapy this service will provide to parents of children who loved dressing up and trick or treating for Halloween.

Although I really enjoy all months that I get to spend in cemeteries (January thru December), the autumn months are definitely my favorite.

As weather becomes crisp, it’s almost as if we can congratulate ourselves for surviving August’s blistering heat. Along with crisp weather, the leaves on local trees change color to beautiful purples, oranges, and reds.

Additionally in the autumn months, I’m able to find many types of wildlife that are scarce during summer. Deer are plentiful, hawks and eagles glide overhead in search of prey along their migratory routes, and orb weaving spiders begin fattening up before winter.

Yes, even spiders. I’m fascinated by them. I am a bit of an arachnophile and I’m really fascinated by spider’s behavior this time of year. Still, since many people are creeped out by spiders, it’s no wonder spiders are featured on many Halloween decorations. Speaking of Halloween decorations, many cemeteries allow Halloween decoration on graves this time of year.

Halloween Decorations on Graves

Halloween Grave Decorations are becoming increasingly popular. Decorating for Halloween is a fun way for parents to share a very meaningful time of year with children who loved dressing up and trick or treating. Halloween has become a holiday for parents and children to spend time together picking out a costume and going out into their communities trick or treating. It’s tragic when a child passes away. I truly believe Halloween Grave Decorations provide cathartic therapy for those of us who have lost someone who loved Halloween.

If you own a Grave Care Business, I would encourage you to let your clients know that you provide Halloween Grave Decorations. I think you will be surprised at the positive response from your clients.

Grave Care – March 2017

spring cemetery
The exact moment of springtime – 2014

Springtime Grave Care – In Like A Lion

Across the country, springtime is coming to us in rapid fashion.  Look at the news.  There is harsh weather everywhere.  Here in the southeast, there have been super-cell thunderstorms and a few tornado warnings.

High winds bring down tree limb and cause general disarray to cemetery grounds.  These problems are an amazing source of opportunities for Grave Care Business owners.

Storms Damage Local Cemeteries

We’ve been out in the local cemeteries this month picking up branches, chainsawing problematic trees, and generally tidying things up.  I have to admit, it’s hard work but it’s fun work.  And, it’s VERY rewarding work.

Do you love cemeteries?
Do you love helping people?
Do you love making great money?
Do you love fulfilling and rewarding work?

If any of these are true, have you considered starting a Grave Care Business?

Start A Grave Care Business

You don’t have to be handy with a chainsaw.  There are lots of other services you can offer your clients.

  1. General plot maintenance.
  2. Grave side floral decoration placement.
  3. Tombstone cleaning.

These are just 3 of the services you can offer.  We cover many other services in our professionally produced Grave Care Business Course.

Christmas Grave Decorations – Prepare Now.

christmas flowers for graves

Though it’s only September, right now is a perfect time to start your Grave Care Business and be ready for Christmastime Grave Care demand.

I love this time of year. The weeks after September’s full moon bring slightly cooler temperatures. Before long, leaves will change colors & fall off trees, grasses will move into their dormant phase, and the calendar will flip over to December & the holiday season. Yes, I know it seems like a long time away but Christmas will be here before we know it.

During Christmas, many families desire Christmas-themed floral decorations for their loved-ones’ gravesites. Since the demand is so high, it is a great idea to begin approaching your clients as soon as possible. While you’re speaking with them about autumn grave plot general maintenance, tombstone cleaning, and autumn floral decorations, you should mention the fact that you are offering Christmas-themed grave decorations for the Christmas season.

The extreme summer heat is almost behind us. The coming months offer tremendous opportunities for Grave Care Companies.

End of season Grave Care – Summer 2016

Cemetery Grave Care

It’s August 2016 and I’ve just come in from another beautiful day in a cemetery.

This summer has been one of the hottest on record. Though daily temperatures are still very warm, we are beginning to experience hints of cooler weather. Soon, the evenings will be brisk and autumn colors will beautify all the trees in our local cemeteries.

Since the heat and humidity of July is difficult to take, I try to perform much of my work in the morning and late evening hours. Once August arrives, the humidity begins to decrease and working outside is much more bearable. And, of course, September and cooler weather is just around the corner.

The next several months are perfect for grave care services. This is the perfect time to perform plot maintenance. Old, ugly grasses and weeds can be removed and the ground can be prepared for new seed which will green-up and put down roots during early Autumn. Tombstone cleaning is also in demand from customers this time of year. After a dry, dusty summer, grave stones are in dire need of good wash downs with proper cleaning procedures. Harsh chemicals are not needed. In fact, harsh chemicals can damage tombstone material. Harsh scrubbing can cause further damage to already fractured or fragile grave markers. I always try to take a “do no damage” approach to tombstone cleaning.

In addition to grave plot maintenance and tombstone cleaning, summertime floral decorations should be changed as we transition into the cooler months. Old flower decorations become faded and tacky looking. I always think it’s a shame when I see old flowers on a grave site. Someone spent a lot of time and money to place flowers as an outpouring of respect and love. Flowers that were once beautiful eventually become worn and old and tacky. Autumn is a great time to replace old flowers with new decorations.

Each year, I think of Autumn as our reward for suffering through another hot summer. This is the time of year I, once again, love what I do. 🙂

If you’ve ever thought about the idea of operating your own Grave Care Business, I would like to invite you to read through our entire website. There is a lot of free information here to help you get started.

Happy Fourth of July – Grave Care Decorations

Grave Decorations for July 4th

Grave Decorations for July 4th

We would like to wish everyone a very Happy Fourth of July.

On this holiday, many Grave Care Customers want Red, White, and Blue floral decorations placed on the grave sites of their loved ones. It’s a very festive holiday and it’s nice to see brightly colored and patriotic decorations adorning headstones. So many people love fireworks and cookouts with family members. It helps them to know their loved ones who have passed away are still part of the family and get are thought about with decorations.

After the July 4 holiday, we enter a several week dry spell where there are not many holidays to celebrate. The summer Grave Plot maintenance season will be in full swing and it will be a perfect time for tombstone cleaning. These services will keep us all busy for the next several months (long into the autumn season) and by the time mid-August gets here, floral decorations will need to be changed out for late summer or early autumn colors.

If you have ever thought about operating your own Grave Care Business, right now is a perfect time to start.

We have developed a comprehensive Grave Care Business instructional course designed to help you start and operate your own successful Grave Care Business.

For more information, please read our entire website to learn about the course. We have a “Course Overview” page describing everything that is included with the course. We have 3 different versions.

Happy 4th. Please let us know if you have any questions.

Grave Care Business Course Overview

Personal Goals Advance Your Business Goals

This blog post is longer than my normal post. Read it through to fully see its importance. I convey the idea that personal goal setting has broad and positive implications in your life. Work toward your goals with positive enthusiastic energy. You will be rewarded.

Grave Care Business

Choose Your Goals Carefully

Personal goals advance your business goals. I’d like to share a perfect example of the way a seemingly unrelated personal goal will greatly advance your business goals.

In January, I outlined my goals for this year. I wrote a blog post briefly discussing the idea of goal setting at the beginning of a new year. I am a strong believer in making goals. WITHOUT A GOAL YOU CANNOT SCORE.

I am a strong believer in writing goals down on paper.
I am a strong believer in writing the reasons behind the goals.
I am a strong believer in plotting courses to achieve the goals.

Writing goals down on paper establishes a physical connection to your goals. The physical act of holding a pen in your hand and writing a goal on paper causes a physical investment on your part. Have you heard the term “you must have skin in the game”? Writing your goals on paper is the first part of having “skin in the game.” The goal is not just a passing thought if you make the effort to write it down.

Second; writing down a REASON for the goal helps you establish a “bigger picture” of the goal. For example; if your goal is to start your own business, you might write down that you want to start your own business to have more money for retirement. The idea of more money for retirement supports your efforts of starting your own business.

Third; plotting a course gives you a direction to travel in attaining your goals. You cannot begin a journey without having an initial course. Likewise, you cannot start a business without an initial business plan or business model. Yes, your course will change and you will make adjustments along the journey but you MUST have a course to travel before you start.

As I shared in an earlier blog posting, my goals for this year included:

1) Do a better job researching and exploring cemeteries.
2) Learn about the culture of cemetery care in every cemetery I visit.
3) Improve my ability to travel so I can visit cemeteries in a wide range of geographic locations.

Anyone who reads this blog and keeps up with my Cemetery Exploration channel on YouTube knows that I love being on the water. As you might have seen in some of my Cemetery Exploration Videos, I use my abilities of sailing, power boating, and kayaking to visit hard to reach cemeteries and cemeteries in foreign lands.

When I developed my goals for this year, I tried to develop a method by which I could increase my skills on the water and put those skills to use in my cemetery research. I did this through education. In the first quarter of this year, I completed a 56 hour licensing course on becoming a ship’s captain. Now, I will admit that a 56 hour course, by itself, does not give me the ability to captain a large vessel. However, having my Captain’s License improves my knowledge and increases my ability to travel on such vessels.

I’m happy to announce that I passed all my exams and I am currently awaiting final paperwork for my Captain’s License.

Here’s the beautiful part:

a friend of a friend who knows I have earned my Captain’s License needs help moving a large sailing vessel from Key West, Florida to Charleston, South Carolina next week. Because of the Captain’s License I earned this year, I have been invited to work as crew during this trip.

Key West Cemetery - Key West FloridaNow, how does this relate to cemetery research? Well, Key West, Florida and Charleston, South Carolina have amazing cemeteries. The cemetery in Key West has hundreds of fantastic tombstones and I will be able to study the care that is given to them under the harsh south Florida sunshine. The innumerable cemeteries of Charleston require special care of their own. Those cemeteries are packed into nooks and crannies of Charleston’s small church yards.

This opportunity of sailing from Key West, Florida to Charleston, South Carolina and having the ability to visit the cemeteries in each of those towns would not have presented itself if I hadn’t been active in advancing my education of driving boats.

The Law of Intended Consequences

When I wrote down my goal to “improve my ability to travel so I can visit cemeteries in a wide range of geographic locations” I looked for a skill that I already possessed (sailing) and thought about how I could use that skill to increase my ability to visit cemeteries. I had no idea earning my Captain’s License would pay such quick dividends. I could not have envisioned that improving a skill I already possessed would allow me to study cemeteries in two fantastic towns within one month of completing the Captain’s License exams. However, I knew that working hard to earn a Captain’s License would present unimagined opportunities. I believe the Universe works that way….I believe when you work hard and put your energy into work that you love, you are rewarded with unforeseen opportunities.

So, I’ll ask YOU:

What are your goals for this year?

Key West - Dead EndJust because it’s not January anymore does not mean your goals are at a Dead End.
