About this file
This document is a contractual clause establishing dignity and respect requirements for work performed at national cemeteries. The clause mandates that all contractor personnel conduct activities with special care, reverence, and dignity, recognizing the cemetery as a final resting place for service members, Veterans, and their families.
The specific requirements prohibit contractors from walking, standing, leaning, sitting, or jumping on headstones or markers, or driving over them. Contractors cannot place or lean tools, equipment, or other items on headstones or markers and must exercise care to prevent scratching or damage to markers. The contractor bears responsibility for replacing any damaged headstones and markers and restoring damaged turf resulting from work performance. Should any work activity expose or damage human 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 (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 dignity guidelines to all employees and subcontractors involved in the work.

DIGNITY CLAUSE
Respect for Headstones and Markers in National Cemeteries
Handling of Markers and Headstones
Every action by contractor personnel at a national cemetery must be performed with the special care, reverence, dignity, and respect that acknowledges the cemetery as the final resting place that commemorates the service and sacrifice that service members, Veterans and their families made for our
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.
