How to properly install a cross on a grave

Our funeral experts take several key points into account when installing crosses on grave sites:

  • According to Orthodox tradition, crosses are installed at the feet of the deceased, symbolizing the deceased's prayer directed toward the cross. Lutherans also place the cross at the foot of the grave.
  • According to Catholic custom, the cross is placed at the head of the deceased, symbolizing the soul's final farewell to the crucifix upon departure.
  • Replacing a temporary wooden cross must be accompanied by burning it; it cannot simply be thrown away. Cemeteries have designated areas for this purpose.
  • It is recommended that memorial plaques or photographs of the deceased be placed either at the base of the cross or between its horizontal and diagonal bars to avoid desecrating the sacred object.
