Accessibility

What we aim for

The site is built with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, level AA, as its target. In practice that means:

• Every page can be used with a keyboard alone, with a visible focus outline and a “skip to main content” link.
• Headings, landmarks, form labels and link text are written for screen readers.
• Text and controls meet AA contrast. Gold is used for thin rules and on dark navy only, never as text on a light background.
• Nothing moves, plays or animates on its own.
• Buttons and links are at least 44 pixels tall on touch screens.
• Pages reflow on small screens and when text is enlarged.

Maps

Interactive maps are a supplement. Wherever a map appears, the same cemeteries are listed as text on the same page, and every cemetery page gives a written address and a directions link. You never need the map to find a cemetery.

Known limitations

• The interactive map itself is difficult to operate with a screen reader. Use the text list beside it.
• The site has been checked by its developers but has not yet had an independent accessibility audit or testing with assistive-technology users.
• Cemetery pages do not yet carry verified information about physical accessibility at the cemetery. Call the cemetery to ask.
