Cemetery desecration

Cemetery desecration involves deliberately damaging, disturbing, or disrespecting graves, tombstones, or resting sites of deceased individuals. This can include actions like vandalism, stealing valuables, or defacing memorials, and it disregards the sanctity of burial sites. Such acts can cause emotional harm to families and communities, and are often considered criminal offenses. Desecration undermines respect for the dead and can erode cultural or religious traditions related to honoring ancestors and loved ones.
