Measures to restrict social contacts in cemeteries

Due to the still very dynamic development of the Covid-19 pandemic in Wiesbaden, department for green areas of the state capital Wiesbaden will reduce the number of mourners at funerals in Wiesbaden cemeteries and the Wiesbaden burial forest Terra Levis to a maximum of 25 people starting Monday, December 28.

In order to comply with the applicable distance and hygiene regulations in the funeral halls, the maximum number of persons in Wiesbaden funeral halls was adapted to the respective local conditions in coordination with the administrative staff of the state capital Wiesbaden in May. This measure has proved its worth and will remain in place. By reducing the number of mourners to a maximum of 25 people, compliance with the distance and hygiene rules is easier to implement throughout the cemetery grounds, which has been very difficult, especially for large funerals with a large number of people.

In addition, the cemetery administration offices at the South Cemetery and the North Cemetery as well as the funeral office will close for the public from Monday, 28 December, until further notice. Necessary services will be provided by telephone or e-mail at [e-mail]. The administration office of the North Cemetery can be reached at [phone]. The administration office of the South Cemetery can be reached at [phone] and the funeral office at [phone].
