It is also their responsibility to make sure the college and university body isn't desecrated in any way, unintentionally or not, before burial. In Europe it was much more of a community thing, while here they tended to be centered around synagogues. These days many don't have their own chevra kadisha anymore. It's a tradition as old as time that is fading among the less orthodox.Anyhow, college and university on the pillars demarking each area are inscribed the names of the officers of the particular Chevra Kadisha for that area. They were so old and weather-worn, many of the names college and university could not be read anymore. Something else unique to this particular burial area were that the archway over the gate and most of the graves had this symbol of three interlocking rings in a row on them. I had no idea what they were but my Uncle piped in that it signified these were all members of the Odd Fellows, or more properly, International Order of Odd Fellows.
