About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

With the need for more burial spaces for the City of Lucerne, Friedhof Friedental opened in 1885. City architects designed the beautiful park-like grounds with wide winding paths. The first Jewish burial section in the city was made to the left of the gate. In 1907 a children chapel with section opened. Even though the Catholic population protested against this, a cremation association was founded in 1905 to to start a crematorium. After the twenty-year delay from the protest, the first cremation was done September 14, 1926. An urn cemetery and later a hall was finished by 1960. The are memorials for both World War I and World War II. Since many German-speaking Swiss citizens fought for Germany and the French-speaking fought for France, there are separate memorials for each. Beautiful marble statue markers are noted on graves dates 1900 to 1920. Many famous citizens of Lucerne are buried here.
