That is an idea, of course lots of boys in Boy Scouts do use that as an Eagle Project but it is usually done in the County they live in. My son who was killed last summer is buried at Thyatira in Cannon County, and they have a trust that is supported by certificates that draw interest. Then the 2nd Sunday of June they have decoration day and take up a donation. Of course the land was donated many years ago and most people take care of their own families graves(we do), so the mowing is what is left. This is also where my paternal grandparents and great grandparents are buried, along with many, many other family members.

What a wonderful idea! They earn patches and badges for community service projects.
