Part II–My father’s golden years business operation
Working at a real-world cemetery requires significant attention to detail, as much as in other professions. My father and I, the two of us carry out such an operation weekly and adjust our actions to the time of year, but never fail to work at what we do.
It is a small cemetery.
It is a tiny property with many graves within its boundaries and also there is a dilapidated church on the road signifying it is there. In summer, we tend to the grass growing there. In winter, we work at restoring the church (Louth United, it is named). We have work year-round.
People want care provided for their departed.
Families of the deceased buried in our cemetery respond positively to the job we do if we are dedicated to maintaining the church and cemetery where we work. We run this as a volunteer operation. It isn’t very rewarding, financially, but it is a forward-thinking operation as we combine hands-on work at the cemetery with a small Internet presence.
Ultimately, overall maintenance for the cemetery is in our hands.
We are accountable to the people who trust us, and we carry out what we must do with due diligence. It isn’t hard to do it well, and fortunately, my father and I have enough expertise to lend some flow to operations at the cemetery that we maintain. It is such a nice property that we are glad to care for it.
