Start A Grave Care Business – Page 2

Pre-Winter Grave Care

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

…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.

Winter Grave Care Tips for your Grave Care Business

WINTER IS A Good Time To Start Your Grave Care Business

A week ago, I was working in a local cemetery in shorts and a short sleeved shirt. Today, I’m hunkered down in a leaf-strewn cemetery wondering if we will have any warm days before spring arrives. Well, one thing that is an absolute certainty is springtime WILL eventually arrive. When it does arrive, there will be plenty of customers and lots of demand for your grave care business services. However, until then, we have a couple months of winter weather before us.

Southern states with warmish weather can operate Grave Care Business year-round. For everyone in the northern states (and Canada), winter does bring a challenge. Although it is a bit difficult operating a Grave Care Business during the depths of winter, there are a few saving graces that will carry you through and keep money rolling in. Christmas is in December. This month brings you many customers who want their loved-ones’ grave sites spruced up for the Christmas season. Pre-winter plot maintenance and Christmas Grave Decoration placement will keep you busy. December can be a prime earning month as there is a lot of income potential.

Grave Care Business Opportunities in December and January and February

January will probably be a bit slower for requests for grave care services. However, I normally think of the first month in the new year as a time to begin preparing contract agreements and price bids for new clients. The preparation work you do in January will pay HUGE dividends once spring rolls around. Current and new clients will appreciate your diligence during the winter months. Also, you should remember that Valentine’s Day is in February. Many, Many people want Valentine’s Grave Decorations placed on Valentine’s Day.

In addition to Christmas and Valentine’s day floral decorations placed on Gravestones, we’ve noticed grave blankets placement is once again gaining popularity. Additionally, gravestone Christmas present decoration is something many parents like to do for children who have passed away. I believe this is a real psychological comfort to parents who have lost a child. This act of giving allows them to share Christmas at a time of year when they are truly heartbroken.

As passionate as I am about cemeteries and as interested as I am in helping people operate their own Grave Care Businesses, I never lose site of the fact that grave care is an act of caring that families WANT to do for their loved-ones. Services such as plot maintenance, tombstone cleaning, and grave decoration help families deal with the loss. It helps them heal. It keeps them connected.

By providing grave care, you are truly helping people and they are grateful for the services you provide.

If you have ever thought about starting your own Grave Care Business, please read through our website. We have developed a professionally produced grave care business training course designed to help you start and operate your own grave care business.

Merry Christmas!

Grave Care Business Training Course

October 2017 – Grave Care Business

By starting your own Grave Care Business, you will be able to make good money providing proper grave care and cemetery maintenance.

October is an interesting month for Grave Care Business owners.

October is a month when many people become interested in cemeteries. Mostly, this is due to Halloween falling on the last day of October. There is kind of a spooky weird aspect to the fascination of cemeteries in October.

I fully understand this spooky weird fascination…I like Halloween, too.

However, Grave Care is NOT about the spooky weird fascination of cemeteries. Grave Care is about proven services that will allow you to start your very own business. Grave Care includes: plot maintenance, gravestone cleaning, floral decorations, and many other services to properly maintain grave sites.

This is a niche business. While not a lot of people provide these services, there is a huge demand. Some cemeteries offer basic grounds maintenance but their work often lacks finishing touches. After one spouse dies, the other spouse normally tries to maintain the grave site, properly and visit on a regular basis. However, age or ill health often prevents the remaining spouse from performing upkeep exactly they way they want to. Adult children often move away from their hometowns or they are just too busy. However, they ARE willing to pay good money for proper care.

By starting your own Grave Care Business, you will be able to make good money providing proper grave care and cemetery maintenance.

If you are fascinated with cemeteries (apart from Halloween) and if you would love to start your own Grave Care Business, we have developed a professionally produced Grave Care Business Course to help you get started.

The Full Course includes instructions for proper start-up, how to perform the work, what tools and supplies you will need, video tutorials, and instructions on how to properly estimate your prices. We even included fantastic estimating software so you will know how much money to charge your clients.

The Grave Care Business Course includes a tremendous amount of information and business tools. You will be pleased with all that is included.

Grave Care Business – Turning Ideas into Action

Grave care is a very rewarding business and right now is a perfect time to start.

Motivation to help you start your own Grave Care Business

As I drove into the local cemetery this morning, my head was full of great ideas about how I wanted my day to progress. I always find great ideas come to me while I’m driving but, once I reach my destination, those ideas often fade into obscurity. I believe this is a common problem for many people.

It reminds me of an email I received recently from a gentleman who wants to start his own grave care business.
The letter starts: “Hi Keith. I have thought about starting my own grave care business for about 3 years…” He goes on to say that he’s really ready to start and wants to purchase the business course.

I find his email very interesting because he has thought about it for 3 years but is still waiting to turn his ideas into action. We all suffer from this type of procrastination sometimes. Great ideas in the car or in the shower (I often have great ideas in the shower) are often dismissed when it is time to take action.

The question is: how can we retain the resolve to turn great ideas into action?

I believe simple encouragement is one thing that many of us need to turn ideas into action. On a personal level, I enjoy having a few mentors that I can bounce ideas off and then look for encouragement to follow through with great ideas. Encouragement is a very important ingredient for turning great ideas into action.

This is one of the reasons my team and I developed the Grave Care Business Course. I know there are many people who are interested in cemeteries and want to start their own Grave Care Businesses. Maybe you have thought about this idea many times (while driving or in the shower) but once the initial excitement of the idea subsides, you fail to take action to turn your idea into reality.

I would like to encourage you. Grave care is a very rewarding business and right now is a perfect time to start. As I’m writing this, we are transitioning between seasons and it’s an easy time to start your business and build a strong client list. Yes, I would like you to purchase our grave care business course to help you get started but even if you don’t purchase it, I want to encourage you to take the steps necessary to turn your ideas into action.

If you have any questions, please let me know. I am passionate about cemeteries & grave care and I am always happy to help.

My best to you for a profitable and fulfilling September:
Keith

Cemetery Vandalism and your Grave Care Business

Grave Care Business Owners Deter Vandalism

Hi Everyone:

I want to address the serious subject of Cemetery Vandalism. This is a subject very close to my heart. We can do something to combat this serious problem. It is my opinion that proper Cemetery Maintenance and Grave Care dissuades vandals from causing destruction to graveyards.

As a Grave Care Business owner, you can make a difference.

I cannot imagine why anyone would desecrate a cemetery or an individual’s gravesite. However, this is an ongoing problem. Cemetery management and families of those buried in these cemeteries
are looking for answers.

Well, I have some answers to help abate this problem.

Cemetery Vandalism is a Big Problem

I have studied cemeteries where vandalism takes place. I often find reoccurring themes that are common. Cemeteries in decline and ones that don’t have many concerned visitors on a daily basis are often at risk of being vandalized.

I have been associated with Grave Care for many years and I help people start their own Grave Care Businesses. I can tell you that proper care and maintenance is vital to a cemetery’s long-term preservation.

So, how can a grave care business help solve this problem?

Grave Care Business Owners Dissuade Cemetery Vandals

Grave Care Business owners provide many services of upkeep for entire cemeteries and individual’s grave sites. They provide plot maintenance, gravestone cleaning, and floral decoration placement in addition to many other services.

These activities give cemeteries a cared-for appearance. Since you will be there on a routine basis, you will help dissuade people who cause damage. Also, you can properly document instances of vandalism to help police find the culprits.

Owners of the cemeteries will be glad you are there, family members will gladly pay you for your services, and YOU will be operating your own business and making a positive difference for your community.
It is a Win-Win-Win solution.

I am not an anomaly and neither are you.

Start Your Own Grave Care Business

If you have an interest in cemeteries and have ever though about starting your own business, I hope you will read though our website. We have developed a professionally produced business course that will help you start & grow your own Grave Care Business.

Grave Care Business – July 2017

Grave Care Business owners should understand the power of increasing their businesses and building their client lists during July.

July is a pivotal month for Grave Care Business owners. It’s important for you to understand the power of July in starting and/or expanding your business.

2017 is flying by. Six months are down and there are another six months to go before the end of the year. While the first day of July is a milestone (halfway through the year), the importance of July comes from the fact that your efforts this month will guide your business for the rest of the year.

Grave care maintenance is in full swing right now. Grave site maintenance (mowing & landscaping), floral placements, and gravestone cleaning are in big demand right now. However, the end of summer is right around the corner. Then autumn will follow closely behind. I have always found that efforts I make in July to develop my client list for end-of-summer services have a big and positive effect in the coming months. However, I’ve found that if I delay until August, it’s difficult to build the same excitement in a customer base than if I started in July.

I do not know why this seems to be true. However, it’s something I first noticed many years ago when I was studying marketing and human psychology in school. I theorize that by mid-July, people are beginning to tire of summer. However, they don’t realize it yet…it’s subliminal.

Why is this important for Grave Care Business owners? This is an easy answer. End-of-summer grave care and Autumn grave care is very important for this business. There is a lot of money to be made during this time and this is a great time to increase your client base.

The take-away is this: the efforts you make in July will have very positive effects for your business in the coming months and for the rest of the year. “Don’t delay. Start today.”

The Grave Care Business package is packed with information to help you start and expand your business. Please let us know if you have any questions.

Cemeteries Face Budget Pressures – Good News For Grave Care Business Owners

All cemeteries are under constant budgetary issues. Starting a Grave Care Business is a win-win solution.

Shrubs need to be trimmed, grass needs to be mowed, and general plot maintenance needs to be undertaken. Cemeteries, ALL CEMETERIES, require constant upkeep. Likewise, ALL CEMETERIES face budgetary issues.

Cemeteries – low on money

While researching a cemetery in Dayton, Tennessee, I found a newspaper article with pleas from the Perpetual Care Organization (PCO). This cemetery is in dire need of funds. To continue upkeep of their cemetery, the PCO is requesting $40 annually from every family who has members interred there. The newspaper article does not mention the number of different families. However, Find-A-Grave lists over 3,000 burials. Multiply a percentage of this number by $40 and you can see for yourself there is a lot money in cemetery maintenance.

I have been a firm believer, for almost 2 decades, that the answer to this problem lies with private Grave Care Business owners. Grave care business owners take care of plot maintenance, mowing, floral decoration placement (and removal), tombstone cleaning, basic upkeep, cemetery mapping, and many other services. Business owners contact family members with lists of services and they bill those families on an “as-needed” or on a “contractual” basis.

Make money offering Grave Care Services

An independent grave care business owner alleviates the pressure on cemetery management. By shifting a portion of the workload to the business owner, cemetery management resources are freed up to take care of the larger maintenance items.

Families are relieved too. When hiring a Grave Care Business, family members can cater and request services based on their needs and desires. The work is performed to their standards. They get personalized care for their loved-one’s grave site. They are willing to pay good money for these services.

Grave Care – A Rewarding Small Business

Grave care is a rewarding business. It’s beneficial to cemetery management. It’s beneficial to families who want the best of care for their loved-one’s grave site. And, it’s beneficial to the business owner who makes good money providing these services.

You can start and operate your own grave care business with our professionally produced Grave Care Business Course. Learn more about our course by clicking the link below:

How To Start A Grave Care Business

How To Make Money With A Grave Care Business

Are you passionate about cemeteries? Have you ever thought how neat it would be to start a Grave Care Business?
I’ve had a passion for cemeteries since childhood. It thrills me to derive an income following my love of cemeteries.
If this sounds great to you, why not take the steps to start your own business?

These 5 tips will help you on your way to starting your own Grave Care Business.

1) Assess the demand for grave care in your area.

To determine your local level of demand, take a quick look at the number of cemeteries in your area. You will find dozens (or hundreds) of cemeteries in your immediate area. You will find many types of cemeteries: private, managed care, family, churchyard, community & volunteer, and neglected & abandoned cemeteries.
They ALL require specialized care.
We will show you how to start your own Grave Care Business by providing: plot maintenance, grave flowers, grave stone cleaning, and more.

2) Check local competition for similar businesses.

Do a quick Google Search for Grave Care companies in your area. In most areas, there is little (or zero) competition. Even if there is someone else already doing grave care, there is plenty of opportunity for your company to do a better job.

3) Determine your “menu of services.”

Grave plot maintenance, flower placement, and tombstone cleaning are the ‘big 3’ grave services. We show you these services plus many other services to offer your clients. Tombstone resetting, plot landscaping, message delivery, photography & videography, cemetery mapping, and many other services will be of interest to your clients.

4) Determine your need for licenses and permits.

Rules and regulations vary from one state to the next and from one cemetery to the next. It is particularly important to pay adherence to the local laws regulating cemeteries in your community.

5) Advertise your Grave Care Business.

Marketing for this business is unlike any other business. This is very personal for your clients. Your potential clients are sensitive about this and they don’t want to feel like you are strictly advertising to make money off them. Sensitive advertising is vital to gaining and building a strong client list of satisfied clients who will trust your business and the services you provide.

Of course there is MUCH MORE to operating a Grave Care Business than just these 5 steps.

If you think this is a business you would like to start, please read through our website to learn more about us.
