AKA
Friedhof Neuenkirchen-Rekum or Rekumer Friedhof

This is the Lutheran burial ground for the former villages of Rekum and Neuenkirchen, now part of the city of Bremen. It is located just feet from the "borderline" to the neighboring German state of Lower Saxony (Niedersachsen). It has a small chapel. The size is 6.5 acres. There are no war graves in this cemetery.

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. Though the town or owner of the cemetery might find a grave of historical significance and will protect and keep it indefinitely.
