This portal does not provide a general name search or accept search commissions. It helps you organise existing information before contacting the administration.
If you have a location reference
- Record the field, row, grave number and every suffix in full.
- Open the official site plan under cemetery map.
- Identify the field and nearest path, but do not turn the diagram into a GPS position.
- Use field labels and grave sequence on site.
If you know only the name
Give the cemetery administration as much of the following as possible:
- full name and spelling variants,
- exact or approximate birth and death dates,
- likely burial period,
- names of others in a family grave,
- old letters, photographs or fee notices carrying a grave reference.
The operator publishes an extensive directory of notable people, but it is not a complete occupancy register. Our notable graves page is deliberately curated.
Understanding coordinates
Some notable graves are mapped in OpenStreetMap as individual objects. A position appears only where that exact grave has a precise record. Where this basis is absent — for example for Alfred Messel — the photograph and biography remain available without an estimated map point.
