About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

The cemetery in Burgwenden is owned and managed by the Lutheran congregation of Burgwenden. It sits behind St. Laurentius Church, at the edge of the village and is barely half an acre in size. The church and its cemetery date back to the 16th century, though the oldest surviving grave markers are from 1900.

Please note that the graves in Germany are not perpetual. After a certain period of repose (15-20 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 15-20 years. Otherwise, the grave will be leveled and reused, the marker then 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 indefinitely.
