Did the cemetery management put out a Request for Bids (a document of the specs and conditions for all bidders to comply with)? That should give mowing and trimming requirements, moving things to mow, trash disposal, Insurance requirements, etc. Have you looked into insurance? Not just for headstone damage but personal injury and/or property damage as well. Mower blades can throw things and could strike a person or vehicle that happened to be in the area when you are mowing.
Have you allowed for increased maintenance of your equipment due to increased usage? Have you considered backup equipment if you have a breakdown?

On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
