Who We Serve

Long Distance Families

Many families move out of state or across the country and are unable to visit local cemeteries as often as they would like. We provide peace of mind by ensuring that gravesites are properly cared for, even when you can’t be here in person

Elderly Individuals

Long Distance Families

For many seniors, tending to a loved one's grave becomes physically difficult or impossible with age. We step in with gentle, respectful service so they can continue honoring family traditions without the physical burden.

Busy Families

Long Distance Families

Military Families

Between work, raising children, and other obligations, regular gravesite visits can become challenging. We help busy families maintain a lasting, dignified connection to those they have lost.

Military Families

Frequent moves and deployments can make it hard to remain close to family burial sites. We offer dependable care to help military and relocated families feel connected to their loved ones no matter where life takes them.

Caretakers and Estate Executors

Those managing the affairs of others — whether estates, trusts, or elder care — often carry the emotional and logistical burden of maintaining gravesites. We offer compassionate support in fulfilling these important responsibilities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at mark@gracefulgrave.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

What is the process? How do I get started?

Either call or email us with the services you're interested in.
We will need to know the cemetery name/address and approximate plot location.
Let us know the details of the grave site. Does it have existing mulch beds and flowers that you're looking to upkeep, or are you looking to customize a new site layout.
Let us know if you're looking for memorial or holiday decorations such as birthdays, anniversaries, Memorial Day, Independence Day, etc.
We will look into the cemetery rules and regulations to see what's allowed.
We will travel to the site and provide ideas. You can meet with us onsite if available.
We will provide you with an annual service price and seasonal maintenance schedule.
Once you approve the price and schedule, we will send you an invoice for our services.

What types of flowers do we use?

Unless the customer has special requests, we typically plant a variety of annual flowers according to the season. In the spring, you can expect pansies, violas, snapdragons, alyssum, and dusty miller. In the summer we use petunias, marigolds, zinnias, and salvia. In the fall we use mums, pansies, violas and sometimes ornamental kale or cabbage.

How do we decide on mulch bed designs?

We rely on the regulations set forward by the cemetery. Some cemeteries allow larger beds, others prefer smaller beds, and others don't allow mulch beds at all. We typically use black mulch on all of our site designs, unless brown mulch is requested by the customer. Black mulch has a nice look to it and really makes the flowers stand out.

About Us

Local family dedicated to grave care and gravesite maintenance in Massachusetts

After visiting the gravesites of family and friends, our founder, Mark Gilmore or Norfolk, MA, was struck by how many resting places had gone untouched for years. Whether due to distance, age, or life’s many challenges, too many gravesites — and the legacies they represent — have been left without the care they deserve. Graceful Grave Care was created to change that.

We believe that every resting place should be tended with dignity, honoring the lives and memories of those who came before us. Our services offer families peace of mind, knowing their loved ones' graves are being respectfully maintained with compassion and attention to detail.

Our team is made up of veterans and retirees — individuals who understand the deep importance of purpose, service, and honor. We are proud to provide them meaningful work as they help preserve the beauty and serenity of cemeteries across our community.

At Graceful Grave Care, we don’t just maintain gravesites — we honor memories, restore dignity, and help families keep a loving connection.
