Fall in the Cemetery – Grave Care Autumn 2012

Tomb Stones and Fall LeavesI 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

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.

Grave Care Decorations and Memorial Day: Grave Care Business

Memorial Day is the next big holiday that will have family members thinking about grave care and decorations for their loved ones’ grave sites. Memorial Day is a day of remembering all those who died in Wars while serving in the United States Armed Forces.

Cemeteries such as Arlington and other National Cemeteries have dedicated crews who spend many hours placing decorations on the graves of soldiers. However, most other cemeteries rely on family members to pay special respect to soldiers. Unfortunately, family members are sometimes unable to visit the gravesites of their loved ones. If spouses are in ill-health or family members have moved away, grave sites are often neglected.

If you have ever thought about starting a Grave Care Business, Memorial Day is a perfect time to start.

There is a great need for Grave Care Businesses. The services you offer include: grave site decoration for special days (such as Memorial Day), tombstone cleaning, plot maintenance, and many other services. We have developed a comprehensive training tutorial that will teach you how to start, expand, and successfully operate a Grave Care Business.

If you’re late starting your business, don’t worry. There are plenty of other holidays – such as Father’s Day in June.

Autumn Grave Care and Cemetery Maintenance

Grave Care and Maintenance during Autumn
Autumn Grave Care & Cemetery Maintenance

As much as I love springtime, summer, (and even winter) I REALLY LOVE autumn weather and its beauty as its color unfolds in our local cemeteries.

The trees in our area of the country will show their full autumn colors in a few weeks.  The golden glow in the air and the crisp crunch underfoot makes me so happy that I am able to spend my days working my business in such beautiful surroundings.

Autumn presents many opportunities if you run your own grave care maintenance business.   Not only are there leaves to clear away from cemetery plots, this is also a good time to perform needed small landscaping projects desired by your customers.  You will be called upon to replace summer floral grave decorations with autumn color themes and, if photography and videography is part of your service offerings, the next few months are absolutly perfect to get fantastic photographs and video.

If you have ever thought about starting your own Grave Care & Grave Site Maintenance Business, right now is perfect time to get started.  We have developed a comprehensive Grave Care Business program that will teach you practically everything you could want to know about starting and operating a successful 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.  

If you haven’t yet started your Grave Care Business or if you are just looking for some guidance on running your business and making more money, check out our Grave Care Business package on our main webpage:

Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night

he wants to start a Grave Care Maintenance Business

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

We received a telephone call over the weekend from a retired gentleman who is interested in starting his own Grave Care Maintenance Business

After a full and long career he wants to start a Grave Care Maintenance Business to help many of his acquaintances that can no longer care for their loved-one’s grave sites.  General plot maintenance, floral decorating, and research of old cemeteries are his main interested.  We spoke for a few minutes of his reason for starting the business.  He wants to stay active in his 70’s and into his 80’s. 

This man is an inspiration and it made me think about the poem by Dylan Thomas “Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night.”  The poem speaks of our need to rage against becoming old.  We should not quietly relinquish the fire that burns in young men’s eyes. 

For this gentleman, starting a business caring for burial plots and providing cemetery cleanup services will keep his fire burning.

To read Dylan Thomas’ poem, visit Poets.org: Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night.

R.I.P. Benjamin Franklin – April 17, 1790

If you are looking to augment your means with added income by starting your own business, you should think about starting your own Grave Care Business.

Benjamin Franklin died today, April 17, in 1790 at the age of 84.

Franklin was a lifelong student of politics, science, and the philosophy of personal finance. There is much wisdom in Franklin’s written works. From Poor Richard’s Almanack to The Pennsylvania Gazette he encouraged the individual’s right to pursue happiness. One of Franklin’s noblest undertakings was to help the common man (and the elitist, alike) realize his own power in breaking the bonds of want.

One of my favorite quotes from Benjamin Franklin:

There are two ways of being happy: We must either diminish our wants or augment our means – either may do – the result is the same and it is for each man to decide for himself and to do that which happens to be easier.

Both ingredients of this quote are discussed in our Grave Care Business program. If you are looking to augment your means with added income by starting your own business, you should think about starting your own Grave Care Business. This is a rewarding and fulfilling business.
