PLEASE NOTE
This cemetery is undergoing a thorough renovation. This means that the experience of the cemetery may differ from what you are used to. The turf might be reseeded, new trees might have been planted or other disturbances of soil may be seen. This is done to prepare this cemetery for the next 50 years with more challenging conditions ahead.
It is kindly requested to avoid walking on newly sown grass during your visit. The areas affected are indicated by signage in the cemetery. During these renovations visiting an individual grave is of course always possible. If works are being done with machinery at the location of the grave please notify the staff and they will facilitate your visit.
We thank you for your understanding and hope that the results of the renovation will be visible as soon as possible.
