FAQ Home The Funeral Service  

 

Can a family dig or backfill the grave?

No.  Due to OHS requirements only properly trained and insured personnel approved by the cemetery can dig or backfill a grave

For ceremonial reasons, the family may place a token (very small) amount of soil in the grave.  Please make arrangements prior to the day of the funeral.
