Add PhotosKirchlicher Friedhof Bremen-Lesum
There are two cemeteries in Bremen-Lesum. This is the newer one, located at Bördestrasse. The old one, "Alter Friedhof Lesum", is located 1500 feet to the south, surrounding the old St. Martini Church. Both are owned and managed by the Lutheran St. Martini Congregation.
The new cemetery in Lesum was established in the middle of the 19th century, it has a size of about 8.7 acres. The chapel can seat 150 people.
Please note that the graves in Germany are not perpetual. After a certain period of repose (for Lesum: 20 years for urns, 30 years for coffins), the graves are being leveled and re-used. There is no toxic embalming being done in Germany, so the coffin and the corpse can decompose naturally. If the family of the deceased decides to purchase another period the duration can be extended by another 15-20 years. Otherwise the grave will be leveled and reused, the marker than used as gravel in road construction. War Graves are considered memorials and are kept up by the owner of the cemetery. Those are kept forever. Also the town or owner of the cemetery might find a grave of historical significance and will protect and keep it.
