Burial and grave options

The grounds include coffin and urn burial sections. Historic family and war graves do not indicate plots currently available. The administration can explain available grave types, maintenance responsibilities and terms.

This is the grave-type information included for Potsdam 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 Potsdam New Cemetery, ask City of Potsdam – 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 Potsdam New Cemetery may be associated with a particular section. Before deciding, obtain the section name and compare it with the 25 named places on the cemetery map. Then check which entrance is most practical for family visits and any future grave care.
