In this episode of "Cultivated", Eric Behunin discusses automating the operations of American cemeteries to be sustainable yet respectful. This includes addressing the common issues faced by cemeteries, such as noise sensitivity and high maintenance costs. Horticultural Group offers a six-phase system, the "Modern Groundskeeping Framework", designed for the transition of manual maintenance in cemeteries to a fully automated and cost-efficient one. This framework involves site audits, creating a blueprint of the new plan, training existing staff to handle automated technologies, proper installation of devices, oversight of installed systems, and supportive assistance even after the installation is complete. Behunin emphasizes that this system allows the cemetery tradition to be honored while modernizing operations.
