About this file
This document is a contractual clause governing contractor conduct and responsibilities at national cemeteries.
The Dignity Clause establishes mandatory requirements for all contractor personnel performing work at national cemeteries, emphasizing the sacred nature of these facilities as final resting places. Contractors must execute all actions with special care, reverence, dignity, and respect, maintaining awareness of buried remains and the headstones and flat markers commemorating deceased service members and veterans. Specific prohibitions include walking, standing, leaning, sitting, jumping on, or driving over headstones or markers; placing or leaning tools, equipment, or items on markers; and scratching or damaging markers in any manner. The contractor bears full responsibility for replacing any damaged headstones and markers and restoring turf damaged during work performance. Should any activity expose or damage remains, containers for remains such as caskets or urns, or outer burial containers, the contractor must immediately contact the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR), Director/Assistant Director, or Contracting Officer (CO) for guidance. Any uncertainties regarding proper procedures must be escalated to the COR, Director/Assistant Director, or CO. The contractor is required to communicate these requirements to all employees and subcontractors.

The utmost care must be given to these remains and the headstones and flat grave markers that mark those gravesites and memorialize the service of individuals.
a. Contractors cannot walk, stand, lean, sit or jump on headstones or markers. Nor can they drive over them.
b. No tools, equipment or other items will be placed or leaned on headstones or markers.
c. Use care not to scratch or damage markers in any manner.
d. Contractor shall be responsible for replacing damaged headstones and markers and for restoring turf damaged during performance of this work.
e. Additionally, should any activity result in the exposure and/or damage to any remains, container for remains (e.g., casket or urn), or outer burial container, the contractor must contact the COR, Director/Assistant Director, or Contracting Officer (CO) for guidance.
Any doubts as to proper procedures shall be brought to the attention of the COR, Director/Assistant
Director, or CO for guidance or resolution.
The contractor is required to discuss the guidance with employees and/or subcontractors.
