Cemetery Studies
Cemetery Studies for Identification, Relocation & Reburial of Remains
When a project involves a known cemetery, a potential burial site, or the possibility of previously unrecorded human remains, specialized expertise is essential, which is what we are prepared to provide. ACI conducts comprehensive cemetery studies that combine historical research, field investigations, and regulatory guidance while treating every site with the sensitivity it deserves.
How ACI Can Help
Cemetery studies can require compliance with federal and state regulations, and ACI’s senior staff includes anthropologists, historians, and archaeologists with extensive expertise in researching and identifying cemeteries and burial sites. With decades of experience, a thorough understanding of applicable statutes, and advanced investigative methods, ACI provides the due diligence and guidance needed to keep projects moving forward.
What Cemetery Studies Include
Detailed cemetery studies go beyond identifying the location of human remains, demanding careful historical research, technical expertise, regulatory knowledge, and a respectful approach with every finding — and during all stages of the process. Our cemetery experts are not only experienced, but are trained on Cemetery Resource Protection (CRP) and have served as expert witnesses before regulatory bodies.

When to Contact ACI
Cemetery Studies May Be Needed to Continue Your Project
Cemeteries can be unmarked and found accidently when land is altered. Knowing how to respond is essential when a potential site is identified. If you have made a discovery or have concerns regarding human burial sites, the first step is starting a conversation with our team at ACI.
From the First Conversation to a Clear Path Forward
Every project begins with understanding the entire situation. ACI reviews your project location, timeline, available documentation such as photos or descriptions of what was found, known requirements, and any concerns regarding cultural resources to determine the most appropriate path forward.
Your Details Help Us Determine the Scope
Using the information you provided, our team determines whether additional research, field investigations, technical studies, or other services are appropriate. We then develop a clear plan and provide the documentation or recommendations needed to support your project.
