About this file
The document is a Dignity Clause detailing specific behavioral and procedural requirements for contractors working in national cemeteries. The clause emphasizes the critical importance of treating gravesites, headstones, and markers with extreme reverence and care, prohibiting actions such as walking, standing, or placing equipment on markers. Contractors are required to:
- Prevent any damage to headstones or markers, with responsibility for replacing damaged items and restoring any disturbed turf, 2) Immediately contact the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR), Director, or Contracting Officer (CO) if remains or burial containers are exposed or damaged, and 3) Ensure all employees sign a compliance statement before beginning work. This clause appears directly related to the associated Federal Contract Opportunity for Disinterment Support Service at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Honolulu, HI, which is a 100% Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Business Set-Aside with a NAICS code of 812220 and a $25 Million small business size standard.

DIGNITY CLAUSE
Respect for Headstones and Markers in National Cemeteries, Handling of Markers and Headstones
1. 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.
2. Any doubts as to proper procedures shall be brought to the attention of the COR, Director/Assistant Director, or CO for guidance or resolution.
3. The contractor is required to discuss the guidance with employees and/or subcontractors and have each employee sign a statement of compliance and deliver the signed statement to the COR before work may begin.
