Neufirrel is a small hamlet in the town of Uplengen. The small cemetery is on the northern end of the village.

Please note that the graves in Germany are not perpetual. After a certain period of repose (20-30 years) 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 30 years. 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.

The cemetery has several War Memorials with the names and sometimes dates of soldiers from this town, who died during the wars of the past two centuries. Most of them are missing in action and their bodies have never been found and returned to their families. They are not buried here, but remembered on these war memorial plaques and monuments.
