Clarify before arranging grave care

Before requesting work at New St Michael Cemetery, assemble the complete grave reference and identify the grave type. Record the section, row and grave number, the name on the grave and the person authorised to commission care. Ask Catholic parish Bernhard Lichtenberg Berlin-Mitte; central parish enquiry which rules apply to that grave and section before choosing planting or structural work.

Define the work clearly

For New St Michael Cemetery, state whether the request is one-off or recurring. Describe the present planting, the preferred period and the required tasks, such as watering, pruning or seasonal decoration. Include photographs only as practical context, and make clear which elements should remain untouched. This gives a provider a precise scope without assuming what the cemetery permits.

Access and transporting materials

The main entrance is at Gottlieb-Dunkel-Straße 29 opposite Tempelhof Park Cemetery. This is New St Michael Cemetery, distinct from the older site on Hermannstraße.

Public on-street parking spaces are available on Gradestraße. Fee information for these spaces is not available. Check the current signs on site.

Use both notes when planning materials for New St Michael Cemetery. Ask the administration whether the intended entrance may be used for equipment, whether vehicle access is allowed and how waste or reusable containers should be handled for the particular grave.
