Grave type: Single-person burial plot

Notes: 

• Tall stele with a niche flanked by columns in the upper section, circa 1910.
• The grave monument is in very good condition. Gentle cleaning is generally sufficient, but the extensive ivy residue must be taken into account.
• The border is generally in good condition. However, the front slab is tilted forward and must be repositioned.
• The dark slab in the niche contains no inscription, so the surface can be used for a new inscription. The existing plaque appears only partially suitable for a new inscription, so it can be replaced with a new one. The dark color scheme should be retained.      
• The font requires coordination and must harmonize with the inscription on the lower part of the tomb. A kiss stone is also possible.
• Relocation is generally possible.
• Burial and urn interment are possible.

Location: Field 50 - 75

• Burials and urn burials possible.
