This series contains work orders for opening and closing graves. They designate where and when a grave needs to be opened for interment of a body or for removal of remains to a new location. Each pre-printed form includes such information as the date the order was received, lot owner's name, plot deed number, name of person requesting opening with address and phone number, name of person being interred, location of grave, type of opening or burial container, mortuary, funeral date and time, date recorded in the interment record, date entered in the lot record, interment number, entry number, burial permit number, and remarks if any. The orders are typically created several days before the grave is to be opened, but they are not filed until the work is done, so they are ordered by burial date, rather than by order date.
