Find a deceased person: prepare names and life dates
Start with the name of the person you are looking for. If you are unsure, keep a birth name or another spelling ready. A known year of birth or death can help distinguish people with similar names. You do not need to guess missing dates.
Check existing documents for a reference to Darmstadt Forest Cemetery. A person may have been buried somewhere other than their former place of residence. If a section, row or grave number is already recorded, keep that reference exactly as supplied. Enter the details you have in the search form. If no matching record is available, also try another spelling of the name.
Keep any existing section, row and grave number exactly as supplied. A section identifies part of the cemetery rather than a geographic coordinate.

Find a grave using its grave number
- Record the reference exactly.
- Save the official plan from the map page and locate the section.
- As the grounds are about 650 metres long, choose the most suitable entrance in advance; there are car parks at the main area and West Gate.
- Compare signs and visible grave numbers on site; do not infer a position from neighbouring graves.
Selected graves at Darmstadt Forest Cemetery
The notable graves selection is curated rather than a complete register. It has its own grave map; individual graves are not duplicated as general orientation points.
Grave search and grave finders: common questions
Can I search without knowing the year of death?
Yes. A last name is enough. First name and year of death are optional. If you know other details, you can add them to help distinguish people with similar names.
What does a missing result in a grave finder mean?
A missing result does not mean that the grave does not exist. Check the spelling and try again with fewer additional details. If you still cannot find the grave, you can request a grave search from GraveStay.
Is online grave search free?
Using the search form does not create a payment or an order. If you would then like GraveStay to carry out research, discuss the scope and cost before commissioning it.
What helps if I do not know the grave number?
Note names, known spelling variants and life dates. Existing family documents may indicate the cemetery, approximate burial period or relatives buried together. Specify Darmstadt Forest Cemetery when making an enquiry.
Does the directory include every grave and deceased person?
No. Notable graves contains selected biographies, and the orientation map does not show a complete list of grave locations. A missing search result also does not rule out a burial at this cemetery.
