There are over 20 city-run cemeteries in Fulda, plus a few denominational and Jewish cemeteries. An additional five cemeteries are no longer in use and are deemed defunct.

For the ones run by the city, the main contact is:
Städtische Friedhöfe von Fulda / Allgemeine Friedhofsverwaltung
Künzeller Straße 106
36043 Fulda
GERMANY

This small cemetery is located in the Fulda district of Lehnerz. It is just over 3 acres in size. There is a war memorial (World War I and II) with a small chapel and a red bricked Mourners' Hall for funeral services. It was first opened in the 1940's.

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 20-30 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 indefinitely.
