OAR Staff Working to Expose Burial Casket |
| OAR staff identify burial locations, document all available information and, in the event of full mitigation, carefully remove any remains or objects associated with internments. Then, as per legal statues, our staff arranges for proper reburial containers in order to relocate graves in a dignified and professional manner. |
