Grave maintenance

What is it?

The municipality takes care of the general maintenance of a municipal cemetery. Examples include:

  • lawn mowing
  • pruning trees and hedges
  • keeping the paths in the cemetery clean

You do the maintenance on and around the grave yourself. If you no longer want to do this maintenance yourself, you can ask the municipality to do it for you. You will then pay an annual amount to the municipality.

This applies to municipal cemeteries:

  • the General Cemetery at Haelen
  • the Roman Catholic Cemetery in Horn. 

What to do.

You apply to the municipality to do grave maintenance for you.
