About this file
This is a Dignity Clause for federal contracting work at national cemeteries. The clause establishes mandatory requirements for contractor personnel performing work at national cemetery sites, emphasizing the sacred nature of these facilities as final resting places for service members, Veterans, and their families.
Contractor personnel must perform all work with special care, reverence, dignity, and respect while maintaining awareness of buried remains. Specific prohibited actions include walking, standing, leaning, sitting, jumping on, or driving over headstones or markers. Contractors cannot place or lean tools, equipment, or other items on headstones or markers and must avoid 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. If any work activity exposes or damages remains, containers for remains (caskets or urns), or outer burial containers, the contractor must immediately contact the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR), Director, Assistant Director, or Contracting Officer for guidance. The contractor is required to discuss these procedures with all employees and subcontractors, and any uncertainties regarding proper procedures must be escalated to the COR, Director/Assistant Director, or Contracting Officer for resolution.

Nation. Critically important is the awareness required of the Contractor employees of the remains buried in the grounds where the work is performed. 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.
