Differences to consider

Clarify whether a right of use can be extended, who maintains the grave, which design rules apply and whether individual identification is provided. Communal and row graves often allow less individual design than choice graves.

Published burial options

  • coffin choice grave
  • lawn coffin row grave
  • communal coffin grave
  • coffin memorial garden
  • urn choice grave
  • communal urn grave
  • urn memorial garden
  • family grave

The Official information sheet PDF explains the published grave types and contact details. It is not a site plan.

Context for this cemetery

The information sheet lists eight options, including lawn row graves, communal graves, memorial gardens and family plots. Maintenance and individual design differ particularly between these options.

Ask the administration

  • Is the preferred grave type currently available?
  • What are the resting and usage periods?
  • Which maintenance and design rules apply?
  • Which fees arise in addition to the right of use?
