Waiver of grave rights or transfer to other

You rent a grave in a municipal cemetery for a fixed period of time. When this time is up, you can renew it. You can also renounce your grave rights. You do not renew the grave. To do this, you must submit a waiver to the municipality.

If a grave is in your name, you can renew, transfer or relinquish grave rights. You submit your request for this to the cemetery owner.
