| |
| PCA designation indicates a Provisional Certificate of Approval. A provisional certificate of approval may be granted for the operation or establishment of a cemetery, such as the development of walkways and roadways, but does not authorize use of the proposed cemetery site for burials. |
| |
| The designation CIF indicates a Cemetery Information File, this means Alberta Government Services has information on an old cemetery or burial site; no further burials can take place in these cemeteries or burial sites. |
