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.

This is one of 25 cemeteries in the city of Aachen. It's located right behind the St. Katharina Kirche (St. Catherine's Church) in the Aachen district of Forst. It is a little over 2 acres in size. It first opened in 1840.

Please note that the graves in Germany are not perpetual. After a certain period of repose (10-20 years on most cemeteries in Aachen) the graves are being leveled and re-used. There is no toxic embalming being done in Germany, so the coffin and the corpse have decomposed naturally. If the family of the deceased decides to purchase another period the duration can be extended by another 30 years. War Graves are considered memorials and are kept up by the owner of the cemetery. Those are kept forever.
