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, a communal urn area and family 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
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 cemetery has a shelter but no chapel of its own. Funeral services are generally held at Andreaskirche.
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 cemetery on Lindenstraße was created for people of different faiths. A cross combined with a Star of David on the boundary wall recalls that founding principle. Andreaskirche at the cemetery was built in 1895–1896 to a design by Otto Stahn. Its adjoining funeral hall was built earlier, in 1888, to plans by Johannes Otzen. Stahn is also buried here; another notable grave is that of physicist Hermann von Helmholtz.
