All Saints in the marble works
Toussaint 2017 and the marbreries, it is "I love you neither". A turnover in perspective, but schedules that do not have enough 24 hours in a day. The day of the dead is in two weeks, and work already begun for most marble workers. A complex period, for which it is sometimes difficult to meet the requirements of customers, especially those who wake up at the last minute. With which partners to count to save time? How to organize?
And all that must be done before the cemeteries close their doors to the professionals, for short: good luck!
Toussaint 2017 and the marbreries, we organize
If you have decided to manage on your own, without subcontractors or external partners, you can support your marble workforce by hiring on an interim basis. The porters you use regularly can be trained "quickly", and come back next year. Be careful to teach them the basic rules (no karcher on engravings, use of harmful products on the stone etc ...).
Make a schedule, and do not promise anything to "last-minute" families: it's better for a decayed client than for a dissatisfied customer.
Hurry also to order the material you will need before it is too late: cleaning products, gold leaf, sand ...
The maintenance of graves
The maintenance of funerary monuments is one of the most requested services in the approach of All Saints' Day. Ideally, the construction sites of funerary monuments are stopped, or in part (there are always families who want the tomb to be finished for All Saints' Day), and the workers turn in all the communes to carry out the maintenance of the ordered graves .
