Clarify before arranging grave care

Before requesting work at Trier Main Cemetery, assemble the complete grave reference and identify the grave type. Record the section, row and grave number, the name on the grave and the person authorised to commission care. Ask City of Trier – cemetery administration which rules apply to that grave and section before choosing planting or structural work.

Rules and final check

The grave types page sets the request in the context of Trier Main Cemetery. Before work begins, ask City of Trier – cemetery administration about planting, monuments, water, waste and commercial access for the relevant section. Use 0651 718-3841 for the site-specific enquiry.

Define the work clearly

For Trier Main Cemetery, state whether the request is one-off or recurring. Describe the present planting, the preferred period and the required tasks, such as watering, pruning or seasonal decoration. Include photographs only as practical context, and make clear which elements should remain untouched. This gives a provider a precise scope without assuming what the cemetery permits.

Access and transporting materials

The main entrance is at Herzogenbuscher Straße 8. The An der Hospitalsmühle entrance serves the northern section; for a funeral there, use the chapel at An der Hospitalsmühle 19 as the destination.

Visitor parking is at the corner of Zurmaiener Straße and An der Hospitalsmühle. It serves the northern entrance; plan the route separately if you need the main entrance on Herzogenbuscher Straße.

Use both notes when planning materials for Trier Main Cemetery. Ask the administration whether the intended entrance may be used for equipment, whether vehicle access is allowed and how waste or reusable containers should be handled for the particular grave.
