Communal graves have been available since summer 2012. They are designed differently. When a coffin or cinerary urn is buried, the burial site is not marked as an individual grave.

The surname, first name, year of birth and year of death can be engraved on the memorial symbols provided.

These gravesites are uniformly sown with grass and maintained by the cemetery administration. At the head end there is a planting strip which can be individually planted in front of and next to the headstone and used to place flowers and flower arrangements. The headstone can be selected according to your own wishes, similar to conventional row and elective graves, and installed by an expert stonemason. We offer low-maintenance lawned and elective graves for coffin burials and urn burials in up to two places.

Insert picture of the Muslim burial ground

There is a Muslim burial ground in the north-western area of the forest cemetery in Jügesheim. The graves are located in an area where burials have never taken place before. They are also orientated towards Mecca, as prescribed in Islam. This is because Muslims always bury their deceased in such a way that they lie on the right side of their body and face their holiest city. There is also a ceremonial area with a table and stone seats on the burial ground. The table, an important part of the Muslim burial ceremony, is orientated so that the body can be laid out on it in the direction of prayer. A washroom is also available in the cemetery building of the Jügesheim forest cemetery.

The children's burial ground is a combination of a communal burial ground for premature and stillborn children and an area for individual graves and lawn graves for children up to the age of five. Local undertakers and clergy from the various religions were involved in the planning. The place where grieving parents can find solace has been created like a small garden - the "Garden of Star Children". It is embedded in a beautiful stand of old Scots pine trees. The location is bright and friendly.

Tree burial sites are urn burial sites where, like conventional urn graves, a right of use is granted for 20 years. The guiding principle of natural tree burial is that the ashes of the deceased reach the roots of the tree. The idea of the ashes being absorbed by the tree and thus becoming part of the life cycle again is comforting for many people. For all tree burials, only urn burials are possible as elective graves and can also be purchased in several places.

The bereaved have the option of having a name plaque inscribed with the deceased's life and death dates in the spaces provided. Conventional grave planting in the form of flower beds or the placement of vases or other grave decorations should be avoided in order to do justice to the basic idea of natural burial.
