Question: Are cemeteries setting up tents and chairs during this time?
Answer: Cemeteries are beginning to limit not only equipment at the gravesite, but we are also seeing a limitation in services as a whole. This is the result of various CDC recommendations, as well as various state and local orders on what is currently allowed. The National Concrete Burial Vault Association has published graveside recommendations which provide further details on gravesite recommendations.
