The living cemeteries of Germany

In the ‚Gedenkwald‘ (a natural cemetery in a forest) burial sites are next to specifically chosen trees.

Apart from a small open air chapel – with a simple cross and benches – the ‚Gedenkwald‘ preserves the natural environment of an uncultivated forest.

A plaque marks out a tree as a future burial site:
