Saying goodbye to a much loved animal is very hard to do. These pets have meant a lot to their families. No matter how hard life can be these loving animals have been present in the lives of their families members, encouraging them with a wag of tail or a soft purr. If you have a track of land that is currently unused, you can turn it into a pet cemetery and help the grieving families give their pets a proper burial.
The Law of Pet Cemetery Business
Check with your local government about setting up your business. There may be applications to fill out and fees to be paid. Determine what your requirements are for beginning a new business. You may need to be licensed and bonded. Some states require you to register with the state as well.
Check to see if your land is located in an area pre-approved by the government. Familiarize yourself with any required regulations. Research any laws that may apply to your business. Some good advice is to retain an attorney. Make arrangements for your pet cemetery after your demise. Arrangements need to include perpetual care and who will manage the business.
A Business Plan
Start your business on the right foot by creating a thorough business plan. You need to decide on a name. Make sure your business name stands out from any other pet cemeteries. You should decide on how much you want to spend on your business. You may want to offer other services such as cremation, providing caskets, flowers, or headstones. Last, decide on how much you want to spend on business cards, flyers, advertising, and a website.
Planning the Plots
Plan the design of the plots on your track of land. When deciding on the structure of the plan, include a small chapel, watering systems for the lawn, a gazebo, a fountain, and a garden for reflection. Decide on how big the plots should be. They should vary in size depending on the type of animal from goldfish to horses. Some pet cemeteries offer a mausoleum for the cremated animals.
Finding Suppliers
Suppliers are necessary for your business. You need to provide your clients with a reputable company who will sale them grave markers, headstones, pet urns, pet caskets and keepsakes. You might also want to check into pet insurance to offer to your clients.
Marketing
Look around your area and check out how many pet owners are in your local area. See if there are any other pet cemeteries. Interview pet owners and veterinarians to see if starting a pet cemetery in your area would be a good business move. Join a national pet cemetery business owner association to glean ideas from other like-minded business owners.
