Finding a grave
The online deceased-person search is currently being revised. For a grave location, email friedhoefe@charlottenburg-wilmersdorf.de with the deceased person’s name and any known life or burial dates. After the resting period or plot rights expire, an administrative search incurs a charge even if it is unsuccessful.
Cemetery administration and contact
Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf cemetery administration, based at Wilmersdorf Cemetery, Kalischer Straße 7, 10713 Berlin.
Grave types and allocation
Selected coffin plots, selected urn plots and communal urn plots.
Allocation of grave rights
Plot rights are normally acquired for 20 years. Selected and family plots may be extended; row and communal plots cannot be extended. Arrange the particular plot type and available space with the responsible administration.
Costs and cemetery fees
Calculated examples under the 2026 tariff for a new plot and one interment without a ceremony: selected coffin plot €857, selected urn plot €669, anonymous communal urn plot €704. They include the €52 administration charge, basic cemetery fee and interment; provision and maintenance are also included where required for that plot type. If the cemetery cannot store a coffin, the coffin-interment charge is reduced by €15. A ceremony of up to 30 minutes normally adds €159. Memorials, additional services, cremation and funeral-director costs are excluded. New charges take effect on 1 January 2027; the tariff in force when the application is received determines the charge.
Funeral dates and ceremonies
Tuesday appointments hourly from 09:00: urn interments until 14:00, coffin burials until 13:00.
Funeral hall and chapel
The funeral hall offers 40 seats, an electronic organ and a music system.
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.

History and distinctive features
The municipal Schmargendorf Cemetery meets the neighbouring Protestant churchyard without a visible boundary. Its irregular shape developed through extensions behind the buildings between Breite Straße and Misdroyer Straße. The neo-Gothic funeral hall at the Misdroyer Straße entrance was built in 1894.
