💩 Why it's ugly

The work is quiet, sensitive, muddy, and impossible to make glamorous. You are fixing sunken graves, awkward turf, and drainage issues while being extremely normal about it.

💰 Why it prints money

Cemeteries, municipalities, churches, and funeral homes need ongoing settlement repair but often lack labor. Small recurring contracts can produce steady work with low material costs and limited competition.

🗺️ The launch playbook 🔒

First 30 days

Register the entity and get the basic insurance sorted before anything else. Call the three biggest local operators and ask what they refuse to do — that refusal list is your launch menu. Price the first ten jobs deliberately low to collect reviews, then raise rates fifteen percent.

Days 31–60

Buy the used equipment, not the new one. The route density is what makes this profitable, so cluster your first customers within a twenty minute radius and decline anything outside it.

This is the part that makes money.
