MY GRAVE CARE BUSINESS EXPERIENCE

Hi, my name is Keith.

Even as a young boy, I loved going to cemeteries. The architecture of the tombstones and
mausoleums still intrigues me to-this-day as do the history lessons we learn by studying tombstone inscriptions. When I was a young adult, an elderly lady once paid me money to maintain the grass around her deceased husband's gravesite and take photographs of the site and surrounding environment. She was not able to visit the grave site due to her failing health. She was thrilled to know I was able to care for the gravesite and bring her photographs. It allowed her to pay respects to her husband and feel closer to him.

From this lady's request (way back in 1992), an idea was formed and a Grave Tending Business was formed.

Since that time, the grave site maintenance business has grown to include:
plot maintenance, grounds maintenance, headstone decorating, photography, videography, record keeping, documentation, and cemetery site surveys (called cemetery demography).

Many entrepreneurs have asked me how they, too, can start their own Grave Care Business. Because it is such a rewarding and beneficial business, I have developed a professionally produced, comprehensive business course showing you how to start and operate a successful Grave Care Business of your very own.

Owning a Gravesite Business is a rewarding business.

Providing Gravesite maintenance is financially rewarding - you can make lots of money.
But it is also a lot of fun. If you find it fun to decorate gravesites, provide minor plot maintenance, conduct grounds maintenance, or simply take photographs and videos, we will show you how you can turn your hobby into a full-time business. Additionally, you are truly helping people who want to pay special care and respect for their loved one's gravesite.

There are many services to offer your clients.

Below are some of MY favorite aspects of owning a Gravesite Business. You may have different interests and we cover a WIDE variety of services on which you can focus.

Seasonal plot maintenance, erosion control, mowing, seeding, and
general grounds maintenance.

Floral decorations for special days (Easter, Christmas, other holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, family celebrations).

Tombstone and Gravestone Cleaning Instructions
Our instructional video shows you proper grave stone cleaning practices.

Cemetery mapping using your GPS, Cemetery Research, and Cemetery Photography. Our instructional video shows you how to use these skills in your Grave Care Business.

I know at this point you are asking:

"What, exactly, is a Grave Site Maintenance Business?"

There are many services you can offer with your own grave site business.
My team and I have developed a professionally produced training course that shows you how to start and grow your business by offering many different services to your customers.

In 1992 when the customer (mentioned above) asked me to care for her husband's grave, I had never heard of Grave Maintenance. Word got around of my work and people started calling for estimates. At the beginning, I only offered plot maintenance (mowing and trimming) but I quickly expanded into other areas:

Tombstone Cleaning

Headstone and Plot Decoration

Flower Placement on Special Days for the Deceased

Whole Cemetery Cleanup of Old or Neglected Cemeteries

Plot Maintenance (grass cutting, trimming, leaf raking, general maintenance)

Photography and Videography Services.

Research, Documentation, Placement, and Record Keeping Services.

Grave Sitting & Message Delivery

Many Other Services Included in the Course

My team and I have developed a guidebook and training package detailing each of these (and other) services. We also show you how much money to charge for these services.

ARE YOU READY TO START YOUR OWN GRAVE CARE BUSINESS?

As I am writing this, it is January 2012. Spring time is a VERY ACTIVE season for grave care with plot maintenance, tombstone cleaning, and seasonal grave floral decorations.

Simple decorations and basic plot maintenance are very profitable during the next several months. Our guidebooks and video guides cover decorating, plot maintenance, basic tombstone cleaning, and many other services to offer your customers.

The materials in this business training course will help you start immediately.
