The Main Cemetery Frankfurt is located on Eckenheimer Landstraße in northern Frankfurt and is the city's largest municipal cemetery. It was laid out in 1828 in the style of an English landscape park and combines old trees, winding paths, and historic gravestones to form an impressive, listed ensemble. The grounds include a mourning hall, a chapel, and various types of graves, from earth and urn plots to maintenance-free lawn graves and a Muslim burial ground. Opening hours vary seasonally: In the winter months, the cemetery is usually open from morning until early evening; in the brighter summer months, it is open significantly longer, with slightly later admission on Sundays and public holidays. For elderly or mobility-impaired visitors, a free shuttle service with an electric vehicle is offered on weekdays. If you are planning a burial at the Main Cemetery or have questions about the appropriate type of grave, we will accompany you with calm and experience and gladly take care of coordinating all organizational steps.
The South Cemetery is located on Darmstädter Landstraße in southern Sachsenhausen and was opened in 1868 as a replacement for the former Old Sachsenhausen Cemetery. With an area of approximately 13 hectares, it is considered a tranquil park cemetery, whose design in parts resembles an English landscape garden, and which, with its old trees, also forms a small ecological oasis within the district. A defining feature is the historic mourning hall in the style of Florentine Baroque, which, after reconstruction, offers space for funeral services in an intimate setting. Mainly various forms of urn and row graves are offered, including maintenance-free lawn graves. Visiting hours follow the city-wide uniform seasonal regulations: From November to February, access ends in the late afternoon, while in the summer months, the cemetery remains open until the evening hours. If you are interested in a burial at the South Cemetery or are looking for a peaceful setting for a farewell, we will advise you calmly and without haste.
The Heiligenstock Park Cemetery is located on Friedberger Landstraße in northeastern Frankfurt, near the city limits of Bad Vilbel, and was established in the early 1990s. Spanning approximately 17.4 hectares, oaks and hornbeams define the landscape of this cemetery, which resembles a light forest more than a traditional burial ground, offering expansive views towards the Taunus mountains. At its center stands a modern funeral hall with a domed roof and an adjoining chapel; alongside this, there are separate burial plots for Christian and Islamic interments, as well as a memorial grove that allows for natural tree burials within a protected and easily accessible cemetery area. Opening hours follow the seasonal regulations of Frankfurt's cemeteries, with access on Sundays and public holidays starting later than on weekdays. We would be pleased to assist you in selecting a suitable burial plot at Parkfriedhof Heiligenstock and handle all organizational steps related to the interment.
The Westhausen Cemetery is located on Kollwitzstraße, on the edge of the Westhausen settlement in the Praunheim district, and, at approximately 22.2 hectares, is the second-largest cemetery in the Frankfurt urban area. It was consecrated in 1952 and is characterized by expansive lawns, groups of trees, and a distinctive funeral hall from the 1960s, which provides space for both small and large memorial services. A dedicated section, the "Cimitero di Guerra Italiano," is devoted to Italian war victims, lending the site special cultural significance for remembrance. Since 2002, a memorial grove has existed here, allowing for urn burials near trees in a natural setting, complemented by numerous traditional and low-maintenance grave types. Access times are seasonally adjusted, ranging from early morning until early evening in the winter months, and extending into the late evening during summer.
