Care and maintenance

Grave care

Prepare grave care at the Old St. Matthew’s Churchyard, Berlin: identify the grave, describe the work and clarify local rules.

On this page

A grave-care request requires an unambiguous location. A complete reference, clear scope of work and current photograph reduce follow-up questions.

Grave care by GraveStay

The enquiry process passes cemetery ID 2516, postcode 10829 and the current page as its source. It does not constitute an order by itself.

Information to gather

  • full name on the memorial,
  • field, row, grave number and all suffixes,
  • photograph of the complete grave and surroundings,
  • requested one-off or recurring work,
  • preferred timing and a reachable contact,
  • any known conditions of the right of use or cemetery rules.

If the location is missing, begin with grave search. The official plan shows fields and paths, not names.

Clarify design constraints first

The churchyard is a protected heritage site. Changes to a memorial, enclosure or permanent planting should be agreed with the holder of the right of use and, where required, the administration. Communal memorial sites differ from individually maintained graves; the operator states that the Garden of the Stillborn Children has no free burial spaces remaining.
