The cemetery in Pries, since 1922 a district of Kiel, was opened in 1910 and since then enlarged twice, once in the 1960's and again in the 1970's. Today it has a size of about 7.4 acres. It has no mourners' chapel on its own. Funeral services are usually held at the church across the street, the "Kirche zum Guten Hirten" (Good Shephard Church). The cemetery is managed by the administration of the Eichhof Cemetery.

Please note that the graves in Germany are not perpetual. After a certain period of repose (10-25 years in Kiel) 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 10-20 years (once in Kiel). Otherwise, the grave will be leveled and reused, the marker then 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.
