Thanks to the Grafzoeken website, you can now easily find your way to the grave of the deceased. Using your smartphone, via the information board at the cemetery or via the website.
Grave finder
Almost everyone has a smartphone these days. You can now use your phone to find your way around the cemetery. On the information boards at the five municipal cemeteries, you will find a QR code and a website (a URL). By opening your smartphone’s camera and pointing it at the QR code, you will be automatically redirected to the grave search website redirected. You can also enter this URL into your browser.
On this website, enter the name of the deceased. The cemetery map will show you where the person is buried. If you enable “Tracking”, Grafzoeken will help you find the grave.
You can check from home whether a deceased person is buried in one of these cemeteries. And if so, where the grave is located. The grave search function also displays details of the grave lease period. This makes it easy for you to see when the lease period ends.
