Find a deceased person: prepare names and life dates

Start with the name of the person you are looking for. If you are unsure, keep a birth name or another spelling ready. A known year of birth or death can help distinguish people with similar names. You do not need to guess missing dates.

Check existing documents for a reference to Grunewald-Forst Cemetery. A person may have been buried somewhere other than their former place of residence. If a section, row or grave number is already recorded, keep that reference exactly as supplied. Enter the details you have in the search form. If no matching record is available, also try another spelling of the name.

Grunewald-Forst Cemetery is in a secluded woodland location and is distinct from Grunewald Cemetery by Halensee. The small walled grounds have one gate; follow the “Zum Friedhof” signs from Schildhornweg. New burials are possible only in graves with an existing right of use.

Grave search and grave finders: common questions

Can I search without knowing the year of death?

Yes. A last name is enough. First name and year of death are optional. If you know other details, you can add them to help distinguish people with similar names.

What does a missing result in a grave finder mean?

A missing result does not mean that the grave does not exist. Check the spelling and try again with fewer additional details. If you still cannot find the grave, you can request a grave search from GraveStay.

Is online grave search free?

Using the search form does not create a payment or an order. If you would then like GraveStay to carry out research, discuss the scope and cost before commissioning it.

What helps if I do not know the grave number?

Note names, known spelling variants and life dates. Existing family documents may indicate the cemetery, approximate burial period or relatives buried together. Specify Grunewald-Forst Cemetery when making an enquiry.

Does the directory include every grave and deceased person?

No. Notable graves contains selected biographies, and the orientation map does not show a complete list of grave locations. A missing search result also does not rule out a burial at this cemetery.
