Exhumation and reburial or cremation

What is it?

You want to rebury a deceased person in another location or have them cremated. To do this, you want to have the deceased exhumed. This is only possible if you:

  • have permission from the person(s) entitled to the grave
  • have a permit from the municipality

What should I do?

  • You apply for the permit from the municipality. You must do this either within two months of the funeral or at least 10 years after it.
  • You can also have this done by a funeral director.
