Burial and grave options
Alongside existing coffin and urn graves, an outdoor columbarium in section 34 has been available since 12 January 2026, with 30 chambers holding two urns each. The elective right lasts 30 years and can be renewed. Cremation is required; a stone slab closes each chamber. Confirm current fees and slab design with the administration.
This is the grave-type information included for Unterrath 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 Unterrath Cemetery, ask City of Düsseldorf – parks, cemeteries and forestry department 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 Unterrath Cemetery may be associated with a particular section. Before deciding, obtain the section name and compare it with the 17 named places on the cemetery map. Then check which entrance is most practical for family visits and any future grave care.
