Plan care around the grave type

Waldfriedhof Oberschöneweide offers individually maintained graves, communal areas and Ruhegemeinschaft plots. The exact grave type matters as much as its section and number when arranging care.

The cemetery administration maintains communal burial areas. A Ruhegemeinschaft burial requires a long-term maintenance contract. For these arrangements, first check which services are already included and where flowers may be placed.

Requesting individual grave care

For a separate grave, describe the work you need, such as planting, regular maintenance or a one-off visit. A recent photo and precise location help make the request specific. Contact the cemetery administration with questions about the grave type; GraveStay provides an external way to request care at this cemetery.
