The "Verein für die Beerdigungsanstalt in Sebaldsbrück" was founded in 1893. Loosely translated into "Friends for the burials in Sebaldsbrück", it is a private group, whose members are dedicated to maintaining an alternative burial culture, independent from church congregations or the city itself. Following regulated German burial practices this active small cemetery (0.6 acres) is non-denominational. The cemetery is now located in the middle of a housing development, right next to some railroad tracks. Follow a small path next to Nr. 121 Sebaldsbrücker Heerstrasse to find the gate.
Please note that the graves in Germany are not perpetual. After a certain period of repose (20-30 years) the graves are being leveled and re-used. There is no toxic embalming being done in Germany, so the coffin and the corpse can decompose naturally. If the family of the deceased decides to purchase another period the duration can be extended by another 30 years. Otherwise the grave will be leveled and reused, the marker than used as gravel in road construction. War Graves are considered memorials and are kept up by the owner of the cemetery. Those are kept forever. Also the town or owner of the cemetery might find a grave of historical significance and will protect and keep it.
