Particularly in the current times, when direct contact must be avoided, the importance of online services is once again increasing significantly, especially those that save personal contact. The Hamburg cemeteries have now developed a store for online grave purchases. It offers 13 different themed gravesites at the Ohlsdorf cemetery – from the wildflower garden to the Ohlsdorf resting forest and the crypt.
Interested parties can get an overview of the variety on offer from the comfort of their own computer at home. Picture galleries and videos show the beauty of the grounds. It is also possible to look at plants from a distance with family members or friends and get advice. Many people who have so far been reluctant to tackle the subject can now find inspiration.
Of course, it is still possible to visit the facilities at Ohlsdorf Cemetery. A digital map is available for each grave site, making it easier to find them in the Ohlsdorf cemetery. The prices are also listed. The gravesites are offered on a precautionary basis. This means that anyone who purchases a grave pays the current price, regardless of when they use it. With the purchase, it is reserved for an unlimited period of time. It may then be used for 25 years from the time of death. However, all offers can also be purchased in the event of death.
