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.

Spring Time Grave Care – January 2012

Grave Care in Springtime
Springtime Grave Care
Springtime is just around the corner and you have an ideal opportunity to build clients for your Grave Care Business as winter weather dwindles and warmer temperatures make your potential customers realize the importance of proper grave care, plot maintenance, gravestone cleaning, and springtime floral grave decorations.

Though this winter has been mild over much of the country, grave sites and entire cemeteries will need routine maintenance and general sprucing up. Old floral decorations will need to be removed and replaced with springtime colors. Ground erosion needs to be remedied, fallen branches should be removed, remaining leaves need to be blown away, and fresh seed needs to be sown to assure a good stand of grass to beautify the grave plots. Proper grass seed is especial important around plots on a hillside because spring rains often cause problematic erosion.

Managed care cemeteries often do much of this work. However, many of your clients will hire you to perform detailed work to assure it is done right. Also, most cemeteries do not have full-time maintenance crews and grave plots within those cemeteries need additional work to assure they are properly maintained. Families of the loved-ones buried there are willing (especially this time of year) to pay to have a professional do the work for them.

Let’s not forget; Valentine’s Day is February 14 and Easter is April 8. These dates are very important and you will be able to acquire many customers who will pay you to place special grave side decorations to honor their loved-ones.

This is a very important time of the year for your Grave Care Business.

If you haven’t started your grave care business yet, right now is a great time to start. If you need help, we have developed a professionally produced Grave Care Business course that will teach you practically everything you need to know to start a successful Grave Care Business.
