The cemetery in Sutherland Springs is nothing elaborate by Texas terms. A simple iron gate welcomes visitors. Reflecting, perhaps, the long decline in the town’s fortunes, a single plot costs about $600 compared with nearly $2,000 in nearby La Vernia.

And yet the people who live here tend their graveyard with affection. Small American flags adorn some of the graves; plastic flowers, crosses, even cowboy boots are near others.

Funeral ceremonies are usually intimate and modest. A local pastor from the denomination of the departed reads from Scripture. Mourners dress up, but not extravagantly. The cemetery is close enough to the center of town that some people walk. Afterward, they gather for a meal at the grieving family’s home.

Some of the regular mourners are bracing for what comes next. On Wednesday, the Texas Department of Public Safety released the names of the dead — 10 women, seven men, eight children, and the fetus carried by one of the victims, Crystal M. Holcombe. The youngest of the children was 1; the oldest of the adults was 77.

Footage captured on a video camera normally used to record services made clear that the gunman, Devin P. Kelley, stormed into the church on Sunday intent on shooting everyone there, and nearly did. Law enforcement officials who reviewed the video said that for several minutes he fired quickly, pausing only to reload, methodically shooting some of his terrified victims, including small children, in the head.

“Everybody knows everybody that got killed,” said Representative Henry Cuellar, Democrat of Texas, who traveled with Vice President Mike Pence to Sutherland Springs on Wednesday, and who has attended Memorial Day services at the cemetery.

Easing the strain somewhat on the small graveyard, a couple of the victims who were veterans may have burials at a military cemetery in San Antonio, and some families may opt for cremations.
