Cemetery Bodenheim

The existing cemetery in Bodenheim was extended to an area of 9,500 m². The cemetery extension was designed as a high-quality open space with a high quality of space and stay.

In doing so, it was particularly important to take into account and integrate the current developments and trends in the funeral industry. In addition to normal earth graves and urn graves, special forms of urn burial were also developed or provided for, such as the path of remembrance, a semi-anonymous area with tree graves and lawn graves as well as a columbarium wall. These various types of graves were combined to form a well-rounded overall concept.

The new cemetery area was transformed to be needs-based, sustainable and visitor-friendly. The areas were laid out and designed to create a pleasant and friendly atmosphere for mourners, so that the cemetery is not only a place of mourning, but also of comfort. Likewise, as a recreational space, the modern cemetery extension offers the opportunity to linger and communicate.

The mixture of cemetery and park-like facility was very positively received by the population.
