Choice grave or row grave?

The terms describe different rights of use: depending on size, choice graves can accommodate several burials and may be renewed, while row graves are allocated in sequence for the resting period. The city states a 20-year resting period for row graves in Darmstadt.

Questions specific to Eberstadt

The list distinguishes choice, row, children’s and lawn graves, but it does not state which option is currently available for a new burial. Ask the cemetery administration about availability, fees, burial capacity, renewal, permitted materials and the care obligations for the preferred type.
