Tree graves in one of Mainz's cemeteries.
Naturally beautiful: tree graves in Mainz cemeteries.

Arranged in a star shape around a tree trunk, protected by its branches and surrounded by a lawn, this form of burial offers a special closeness to nature.

The mostly curved network of paths integrates the resting place into the cemetery's infrastructure. Name plaques can be attached to a communal memorial as a sign of remembrance.

The trees are numbered, and the individual graves are discreetly marked, recorded, and thus identifiable at any time.
