Scattering of Ashes in a Natural Setting

Meadow

Anyone looking for a simple and nature-oriented form of burial in a cemetery will find a special option in Mombach: In the peaceful quiet of the Waldfriedhof, burials without an urn are possible.

For this type of burial, there is a scattering meadow measuring approximately 100 square meters, where virtually every deceased person is given their own designated area in which their ashes are scattered beneath the grass.
