Reburial

Reburial is the process of respectfully returning human remains to the earth or designated resting place after they have been previously excavated or disturbed. This practice often occurs in archaeology, heritage management, or cultural rituals, aiming to honor the deceased, preserve cultural or historical significance, and ensure proper treatment of remains. Reburial can involve relocating remains to a new site, reinterment within a protected area, or formal reburial ceremonies. It emphasizes respecting the dignity of the individual and the cultural values associated with burial practices.
