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.
