Burial and grave options
The city provides information on coffin and urn graves and specialist grave types. Historic family plots or reassigned graves may have different requirements from newly laid-out graves. Clarify availability, term and design rules with the administration.
This is the grave-type information included for Trier Main Cemetery. Read every named option literally: the wording identifies the category, but it does not by itself answer questions about current availability, term, renewal, price, number of burials, planting or ongoing care.
Compare options consistently
For each option considered at Trier Main Cemetery, ask City of Trier – cemetery administration the same set of questions: Is it currently available? What term applies? Can the right be renewed? How many burials are possible? Which monument and planting rules apply? Who carries out routine care, and what is included in the fee?
Relate the choice to the grounds
A grave type at Trier Main Cemetery may be associated with a particular section. Before deciding, obtain the section name and compare it with the 19 named places on the cemetery map. Then check which entrance is most practical for family visits and any future grave care.
