Burial and grave options

The active cemetery has coffin and urn burial sections. The city can explain available plots, maintenance responsibilities and terms. The former Old Cemetery in Stephan-Jantzen-Park is not an alternative for selecting a new plot.

This is the grave-type information included for Warnemünde New 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 Warnemünde New Cemetery, ask City of Rostock – green spaces, nature conservation and cemeteries department 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 Warnemünde New Cemetery may be associated with a particular section. Before deciding, obtain the section name and compare it with the 4 named places on the cemetery map. Then check which entrance is most practical for family visits and any future grave care.
