Most people find it natural to have an actual grave to visit. It can be important for following generations to sustain the memory of former generations. Some may want to arrange for a new cemetery plot, whereas others wish to use a family plot. There are other alternatives for urns. An urn can, for example, be placed in a commemorative grove.
The cemetery plot
Right of burial period for coffins and urns is at least 20 years. There is no reservation fee for a single plot during this period. This also applies when the single plot is of double depth. When the period of right of burial has expired, the grave can normally be reserved by paying a municipal fee. When an adjacent grave is reserved, the part of the plot not in use incurs a reservation fee.
Only one person can be responsible for the cemetery plot or its reservation, and nobody can be buried there without written consent by this person. The person who reserves the plot is responsible for ensuring that the funeral authorities are at all times in possession of the correct address of the person reserving the plot. It is also this person’s responsibility to ensure that the cemetery plot is renewed after the right of burial period has expired. Any queries regarding the cemetery should be directed to the local funeral authorities.
