Cemeteries are sacred spaces.They must be treated with
respect. Although stone is heavy and gives the appearance of permanence people
must be very careful to avoid damage. Steel tools, such as shovels, can
severely mar stone. And once it’s damaged, there is no way to remove or hide
the damage.That’s why today many families prefer to secure the grave sites of buried
loved ones by fencing it and installing gates and locks for preventing by passers
from going through the graves and keeping the grave sites and surrounding areas
clean of waste and rubbish in good order.
Also remember you must absolutely never sit, lean, or rest
on stones. Stones are often far more fragile than they at first appear.
You may, if you wish, to put a bench and plant a tree or flowers
around the grave to make the grave site area as nice looking and special place
for you and your relatives.
Each cemetery has regulations based on safety, healthy and
hazards free environment regarding installing and maintaining grave sites
fences, gates, trees, headstones and other things. So, before making any order
for fencing grave site or putting headstone you should be aware of all these
rules and comply with them.
There are very few companies, which specialize on providing
full service for grave sites like designing and installing fences, gates,
locks, benches etc…, because of small and specific market niche for this type
of business.
Many cemeteries may have sub-contractors and contacts of
local companies, which can do this kind of work for you. Usually any fence
making company can design, make and install fences and gates with lock around
burial place in the cemetery.
Before placing your order for grave site fencing, you should
know basic information about Ironwork and fences “styles” or types.
I found very informative online resource in this particular
are and recommend you to read it. It will provide you with all necessary
information that you need to know.

Landscaping of grave sites doesn’t require many efforts and you can do it yourself using garden tools. Usually it involves grass cutting, planting some flowers, or trees.
Alternatively you can find a local company, which will do all this work for you.
