Clarify before arranging grave care
Before requesting work at Gerresheim Forest Cemetery, assemble the complete grave reference and identify the grave type. Record the section, row and grave number, the name on the grave and the person authorised to commission care. Ask City of Düsseldorf – parks, cemeteries and forestry department which rules apply to that grave and section before choosing planting or structural work.
Rules and final check
The grave types page sets the request in the context of Gerresheim Forest Cemetery. Before work begins, ask City of Düsseldorf – parks, cemeteries and forestry department about planting, monuments, water, waste and commercial access for the relevant section. Use 0211 283073 for the site-specific enquiry.
Define the work clearly
For Gerresheim Forest Cemetery, state whether the request is one-off or recurring. Describe the present planting, the preferred period and the required tasks, such as watering, pruning or seasonal decoration. Include photographs only as practical context, and make clear which elements should remain untouched. This gives a provider a precise scope without assuming what the cemetery permits.
Access and transporting materials
The Quadenhofstraße entrance serves the lower section. The official plan shows further entrances on Rotthäuser Weg and in the southern and eastern parts. Confirm whether a funeral is at the upper or lower chapel.
The official plan shows parking on Quadenhofstraße and by the upper entrance at Rotthäuser Weg. Choose the car park according to the grave section or chapel to avoid unnecessary climbs.
Use both notes when planning materials for Gerresheim Forest Cemetery. Ask the administration whether the intended entrance may be used for equipment, whether vehicle access is allowed and how waste or reusable containers should be handled for the particular grave.
