Prepare your enquiry

For a particular grave, provide:

  • the deceased person’s full name,
  • year of birth and death, if known,
  • the complete grave reference or an older location description,
  • approximate date of burial,
  • the specific question about location, rights, fees or a date.

The administration also handles enquiries about acquiring, extending, transferring and surrendering grave-use rights. Current availability and charges for a particular grave type require an individual response.

Ceremonies and visitor services

In addition to the main funeral hall, a farewell room is available for groups of up to 30 people. The stated arrangements and charges correspond to those for the funeral hall; agree dates and specific requirements directly with the administration.

A transport service for senior citizens and loan wheelchairs are listed. This portal has no details about booking or current availability. Call ahead if you rely on either service.
