Finding a grave
For a grave-location enquiry, contact the responsible cemetery administration at sg-fried@ba-sz.berlin.de. Give the deceased person’s name, the cemetery and any known birth, death or burial dates; ask for the section and plot number. After the resting period or plot rights expire, an administrative search incurs a charge even if it is unsuccessful.

Grave types and allocation
Selected coffin and urn plots, an anonymous communal urn area in Section 3 and family plots.
Allocation of grave rights
Selected plots are allocated subject to availability, with advance purchase possible when plots are free. The anonymous communal urn area permits neither reservation, additional interments nor extension.
Costs and cemetery fees
2026 tariff. Indicative administration charges with / without a funeral ceremony: selected coffin plot €1,029 / 850; selected urn plot €874 / 717. Anonymous communal urn plot €901 / 744, including grave care. These are not the total cost of a funeral; funeral-director services, memorial approval, stonemasonry and any separate grave care are additional. New charges take effect on 1 January 2027; the tariff in force when the application is received determines the charge.
Funeral dates and ceremonies
Funeral directors send a completed burial registration to sg-fried@ba-sz.berlin.de. A reserved time is secured only by written confirmation; a telephone arrangement alone is insufficient.
Funeral hall and chapel
The wooden chapel seats 25 and has an electronic organ and toilets in the building. An entrance step prevents step-free access. Open-coffin farewells are possible in the chapel.
Grave care and local services
For a selected plot, clarify individual care arrangements when the plot is allocated. Where communal graves are offered, maintenance of the shared green area is part of that arrangement.
Accessibility and facilities
The chapel has an entrance step and is not accessible. Toilets are inside the building.

History and distinctive features
Dahlem-Dorf Cemetery wraps around the older St Anne’s churchyard in an L shape and lies at a lower level. Two stairways connect the grounds. Friedrich and Wilhelm Hennings designed its entrance gate and timber-clad funeral hall in 1908 to complement the surrounding country houses.
