History

A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 812220-02 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

  • The history of cemeteries dates back to ancient times, where the dead were buried in tombs or graves. The Egyptians built elaborate tombs and pyramids for their pharaohs, while the Greeks and Romans built public cemeteries outside their cities. In the Middle Ages, the church controlled the burial of the dead, and cemeteries were located near churches. In the 19th century, the industrial revolution led to the development of large urban cemeteries, such as Pere Lachaise in Paris and Green-Wood in New York City. These cemeteries were designed as parks, with winding paths, ornate monuments, and landscaped gardens. In the United States, the Civil War led to the establishment of national cemeteries for soldiers. In recent years, there has been a trend towards eco-friendly or natural burials, where the body is buried in a biodegradable container or shroud, without embalming or a concrete vault. In the United States, the cemetery industry has undergone significant changes in recent decades. The rise of cremation has led to a decline in traditional burials, and many cemeteries have added cremation services. The funeral industry has also become more commercialized, with large corporations acquiring independent funeral homes and cemeteries. There has been a trend towards personalized funerals, with families choosing unique locations and themes for services. The COVID-19 pandemic has also had an impact on the industry, with restrictions on gatherings and changes in funeral practices. Despite these challenges, the cemetery industry remains an important part of American culture and history.
