The bodies and ashes of deceased persons must always be buried in a cemetery (except in the case of burial at sea). It is the responsibility of the municipalities to establish and maintain the burial facilities required for the burial of their residents. The allocation of a burial space by the municipality requires that a right to use a grave is granted (for more information, see "Burial space; applying for a right of use" under "Related topics").
The details of the use of burial facilities and the conduct of burials are regulated by the municipalities by means of statutes or regulations.
- The documents to be submitted can be found in the respective cemetery statutes.
