Grave Care Decorations and Memorial Day: Grave Care Business

Reuben Ferris - Revolutionary War Soldier's Grave Site

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.

For more information, please click the “Grave Care Business” link at the top of this page.

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

Starting correctly is an important part of operating a successful business. With the new year approaching, it is a perfect time to start your own business and have it fully functioning at the beginning of the year.

A couple of our customers have purchased the Grave Care Business Course as gifts for their family members. They had two particular questions for us.

1) Is the material mailed promptly and will it arrive in time for Christmas. The answer to this question is “Yes.” We shipped the package via USPS Priority Mail. Normal delivery time is about 3 to 4 days. With the holiday rush, we recommend you order as early as possible and your package will be mailed quickly.

2) This is a gift, will it be mailed discreetly? Yes, the “FULL” version is mailed in a USPS Priority Mail Box. You can simply wrap it and place it under the tree. The CD-Only versions are mailed to you in a secure padded envelope. We do not identify the contents of the package. So, it will truly be a surprise on Christmas morning.

If you have any questions for us, please let us know. We hope you have a very Merry Christmas season.

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.

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.

Two Grave Site Decoration Events

If you are running your own Grave Care Business, I hope you’re not forgetting two very special holidays

If you are running your own Grave Care Business, I hope you’re not forgetting two very special holidays over the next few weeks. St. Patrick’s Day is March 17, 2010 and Easter is April 4, 2010.

If you have a strong contingent of Irish (or Irish loving) clients, it is a great time to call them to ask if they would like to decorate their loved ones’ grave sites for St. Patrick’s day. I just wanted to remind you of this because St. Patrick’s day sneaked up on me. There are a few days left before St. Paddy’s day so you have time to prepare for the 17th. As important as St. Patrick’s day is, Easter is much more important. It is a prime time to look for new clients that will want you to make special preparations for grave site decorations.
Oh, I almost forgot too; As I am writing this, it is Pi-Day and if you have any families with Mathematicians you know that this is a great day to offer math related decorations. If you need to know what Pi day is, this Wikipedia article should explain if for you. It’s meant to be a fun day and Mathematicians with senses of humor will get a kick out of the fact that you remembered them.

If you haven’t started your Grave Care Business yet or if you are looking for ideas to expand your business, be sure to take a look at our main website where you can learn about our Grave Care Business program. It is packed full of great information and business tools that will help you with your Grave Care Business. The main page is: https://GraveCareBusiness.com

Tombstone Damage

Avoid damage to tombstones when operating your Grave Care Business.

I was in a cemetery recently doing some photography when I noticed many of the tombstones had familiar chips knocked off from their edges.

Tombstone Damage Caused By Lawn Equipment
Tombstone Damage Caused By Lawn Equipment

These chips are most likely caused by negligent lawn care equipment operators running their mowers too close to tombstones.

Lawn Mowers in Cemeteries

Damage occurs as lawn mowers are navigated too close to the tomb stone and a metal part of the lawn mower engages the tombstone. Chips can be knocked out rather easily by heavy equipment.  There is also a possibility that a rock was kicked up by the lawn mower and if the grass shoot guard wasn’t in place the rock could have contacted the tomb stone knocking a chip out.

Weedeaters are also damaging to tombstones.  Weedeater heads spin at upwards of 8,000 RPM and the cutting line can make marks and wear away the stone.  Although weedeaters normally do not make chip marks, wear and tear happens on a smaller scale over time.  Instead they make scuff marks and gradually wear away the stone with repeated contact over time.

If you are running a grave care business and if you are doing plot maintenance or grounds maintenance, pay attention and do not allow your lawn equipment to contact tombstones.

Have you ever thought about starting your own Grave Care Business?
There’s a lot of money to be made mowing individual plots in
unmanaged cemeteries.  There’s also ALOT of money bidding contracts for whole cemetery grounds maintenance.

Don’t know where to start?  We’ll show you how.

Father’s Day: 6-21-2009 Grave Care

Around the country this year there are millions of families who have lost their Fathers. Though their Fathers have passed on, they can still buy a perfect Father’s Day present.

What is your experience shopping for Father’s Day?

Whether your experience is fun (because your Dad is easy to shop for) or hard (because he already has everything he needs and he’s not hip to new things) you know how good it feels when he truly appreciates what you have bought (or done) for him.

Father’s Day Gifts and Services

In my family, we often perform services for one another instead of buying the latest gadget at a department store that won’t be used anyway and ends up being a waste of money.  Services for Fathers day used to include mowing the lawn or giving him a day alone just to watch sports on TV.  He always appreciated quiet time.  I even remember one year as gift to my Father I installed a shower head that had awaited installation for 6 months.  Sometimes the services were a big hit and it was always a great feeling knowing I had given him something he truly cherished.

Grave Care is the Perfect Gift

Around the country this year there are millions of families who have lost their Fathers.  Though their Fathers have passed on, they can still buy a perfect Father’s Day present.

If you have read our Grave Care Business Program you already know the importance of special days for your customers.  Father’s Day is a perfect example of a time when you can advertise special services and promotions for your business.  Don’t lose sight of the fact that grounds maintenance, photography, and Father’s Day Card (message delivery) services are very much in demand for Father’s Day.  Your Grave Care Maintenance customers may not be aware that you offer these services.  Elderly spouses may not be able to physically visit their husband’s gravesite.  Younger family members may have moved away and are not able to visit the gravesite nearly as much as they wish.  These are the customers you need to cater to.  They are the ones truly in need of your services.
Start your Grave Care Maintenance promotions now to let you current and prospective customers know of all the services you offer specifically for Father’s Day.
