Grave types

Grunewald-Forst Cemetery: existing rights of use, restricted burial options and questions for the administration.

No open choice of new grave types

At Grunewald-Forst Cemetery, burials take place only in graves with an existing right of use. A general list of freely available new grave types would therefore be misleading.

Clarify before a burial

  • Does the specific grave still have a valid right of use?
  • Who may decide on a further burial?
  • Which resting and usage periods apply?
  • Which design and maintenance rules apply?
  • Where can a funeral ceremony be held?

No ceremonial hall on site

A funeral ceremony cannot be held on the cemetery grounds. Coordinate the date and an external venue early with the cemetery administration.
