Burial and grave options
The forest cemetery is used for civilian coffin and urn burials. The war-grave area is a place of remembrance and is not available for new plot allocations. Ask the city about current grave types, availability and maintenance rules.
This is the grave-type information included for Aachen Forest Cemetery. Read every named option literally: the wording identifies the category, but it does not by itself answer questions about current availability, term, renewal, price, number of burials, planting or ongoing care.
Compare options consistently
For each option considered at Aachen Forest Cemetery, ask City of Aachen – cemetery administration the same set of questions: Is it currently available? What term applies? Can the right be renewed? How many burials are possible? Which monument and planting rules apply? Who carries out routine care, and what is included in the fee?
Relate the choice to the grounds
A grave type at Aachen Forest Cemetery may be associated with a particular section. Before deciding, obtain the section name and compare it with the 19 named places on the cemetery map. Then check which entrance is most practical for family visits and any future grave care.
Next enquiry
Send the preferred option and the questions still open to City of Aachen – cemetery administration. No direct telephone number or email address is included here, so use the cemetery administration page to prepare the enquiry. Ask for the current rules and fees that apply to the intended burial.
