Cemetery, Mortuary; Adoption of Rules of Use
Municipalities must provide the necessary burial facilities, in particular cemeteries and mortuaries. This does not apply if there is no public need for such facilities. This is particularly the case when a church cemetery sufficiently meets the demand.

Deceased persons are entitled to burial in their municipality’s municipal cemetery. The same applies to those who died or were found dead within the municipal boundaries, provided that a proper burial is not otherwise ensured. Furthermore, the burial of non-residents is at the discretion of the municipality, which may regulate this matter in its bylaws if necessary. Prior to the burial, those responsible for the burial must acquire the right to use a burial plot.
