Cemeteries may also provide the labor necessary to perform the burial service which may include the opening the burial plot or crypt, setting of the vault, staffing for the burial service, closing the grave, reconditioning the area. Full-service cemeteries may additionally assist with the design, creation and installation of permanent memorialization honoring the deceased through a designated marker (headstone, bronze memorial, plaque, lettering or engraving). These services are typically performed by individuals who work for a cemetery, commonly referred to as cemeterians. Small and rural cemeteries that do not maintain a dedicated cemeterian staff, may rely upon volunteer cemetery associations or the vault company to perform any or all of the above listed services., Find the graves of ancestors, create virtual memorials or add photos, virtual flowers and a note to a loved one's memorial.
