When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Context needed What's the context? Modern? Historical? Type of document? A sentence in which it occurs?

sequential burial

We’re trying a new concept: sequential burial. “Sequential burial” means that you purchase the right to be buried at Greensprings, but the actual site isn’t assigned until time of death. (Military cemeteries use this concept.) Burials take place one after the next in a block, working away from previously buried sites and reducing the chance of damage. The New York State Cemetery Board has reviewed and approved our plans.

We practice sequential burial.

Families purchase the right to be buried at Green Meadow, not the burial plot itself. Bodies are buried in surveyed plots, one after the other, in the order in which burials take place. The same holds true for remains whose burial rights were purchased pre-need.
http://www.greenmeadowpa.org/rules-regulations/

Comber Ridge Burial Ground was designed to be of a natural but orderly appearance so as to complement the great natural beauty of the surrounding countryside. In order to achieve this objective a policy was adopted to have open plan grassed burial areas throughout. So as to maintain these grassed areas in good condition at a reasonable cost and to maintain the overall appearance of the Burial Ground, a policy of “Sequential Interments” has been adopted both for coffin graves and for graves containing caskets of cremated remains.

The term “Sequential Interments” means that grave spaces are allocated in sequence as requests to inter are received. In this way rows fill up progressively and the Burial Ground develops in a progressive and orderly manner – rather than piecemeal with individual graves dispersed over wide areas. Unfortunately, this means that it is not permitted for plots to be reserved in advance and individual purchasers of the exclusive rights to inter cannot be given a choice as to the precise location of the grave space allocated.

Definition in German:
Erdreihengrab
Ein Reihengrab wird vom Friedhof zugeteilt – eine individuelle Auswahl ist daher nicht möglich. In einem Reihengrab darf jeweils nur ein Verstorbener beigesetzt werden. Es ist im Normalfall günstiger als ein Wahlgrab. Nach Ablauf der Nutzungszeit entfällt das Nutzungsrecht.
