 | | Installing artificial turf in a cemetery was a new concept for Robert Fells, external chief operating officer for the International Cemetery and Funeral Association — which comprises more than 6,000 cemeteries, funeral homes, memorial designers, crematories and related businesses worldwide. |
 | | The artificial grass is made of polyurethane and purchased from a distributor in Las Vegas, Hitt said. |
