vehicles to line up before proceeding to the Committal Service Shelter.
Access to the Public Information Center with rest rooms from the Cortege
Assembly Area is imperative. Funeral corteges average thirty vehicles
with three (3) persons per vehicle.
Site Furnishings
The components of the site furnishings system should coordinate
with and complement each other, the cemetery architectural design, and
the site as a whole. Site furnishings, including signage, benches, trash
receptacles and flower container/ water receptacles, shall be simple,
standardized, and properly scaled with the function and character of the
site. Design or select all components to be low maintenance and vandal
resistant. Concentrate placement of site furnishings, i.e., benches, trash
receptacles, water hydrants, and signage, in high-use areas.
