Burial options
Overview: Grave types at the Bocholt cemetery
For many mourners, the grave of a loved one is a place of reflection and remembrance. Consequently, the decision on a particular type of grave should be taken with care. In addition to the wishes of the deceased, factors such as design options and the level of maintenance required are important considerations for many bereaved families.
At Bocholt Cemetery, you can choose from a range of burial options for both coffins and urns. As well as the option to design and maintain a grave yourself, the cemetery administration offers attractive, maintenance-free graves. Of course, you can also commission cemetery gardeners to design and maintain a grave.
On this page, we outline the different types of graves. Furthermore, you are warmly invited to visit the site to get an idea of the wide range of burial options available. The cemetery administration staff will also be happy to advise you in person.
