Visitor Code of Conduct

• Treat every request with the same respect you would want shown to your own family.
• Follow all posted rules and guidelines of the specific cemetery.
• Remain quiet, composed, and focused on the act of remembrance.
• Never use a visit for personal, political, commercial, or religious promotion.

• Take only the photos necessary to fulfill the specific request.
• Do not photograph other visitors, funeral services, or unrelated graves.
• Deliver an honest, personal reflection written from the heart.

• Do not leave anything permanent, political, commercial, or that could disturb other visitors.
• Be mindful of other families who may be visiting at the same time.

• Submit your report within a reasonable time after the visit.
• Be truthful in everything you report.
