Cemetery administration involves the management and operation of burial grounds, ensuring they are maintained and organized. This includes overseeing the sale of burial plots, managing records of interments, and ensuring compliance with local regulations. Cemetery administrators also handle maintenance tasks, such as landscaping and repairs, to keep the grounds respectful and welcoming.
Additionally, cemetery administration often includes providing support to grieving families. This may involve assisting with funeral arrangements, offering information about available services, and guiding families through the burial process. Effective communication and compassion are essential skills for those working in cemetery administration.
