If you wish to erect or modify a gravestone or other structure in a cemetery, you must generally obtain the consent of the respective cemetery administration.
You must notify the cemetery administration of Wirtschaftsbetrieb Mainz of the erection and any alterations to gravestones. You must submit a statement confirming that the project complies with the current cemetery regulations and the guidelines of the Technical Instructions for Gravestones (TA-Grabmal).
The erection and any modification of gravestones may only be carried out by a specialized company, such as stonemasons.
Please include the gravestone design with a floor plan and side view on a 1:20 scale with your notification. Please specify the material and finish.
You may begin the project eight weeks after submitting the complete notification. This is conditional on the cemetery administration of the Mainz municipal enterprise not raising any objections during this period regarding a violation of the cemetery regulations and the TA-Grabmal (technical instructions for gravestones).
You may begin the project before the eight weeks have elapsed if the cemetery administration confirms compliance with the applicable cemetery regulations and the TA-Grabmal.
You must re-register the project if you do not erect or modify the gravestone or other structure within one year of submitting the notification.
