    1. Re: [G-P-L] Burial practices

I suppose they were buried in the church cemetery. Did they have long-lasting markers such as we have? My family lived in a small town, Herda, Thuringen and were poor. Any chance of finding a marker from 1850-1900 if such things existed? I read that some country had plots leased for 100 yrs, then they were reused but don't remember if that was Germany.

    3. Hello All, seeing that this 'burial' topic isn't going away I might as well continue the subject by informing you of the latest trend in Germany, the 'Friedenswald', an eco-friendly way of burial. Several cities in Germany and also in the US [e.g. Michigan] have set aside wooded areas that allows for the cremains to be buried near a tree with a small tag/sign affixed to the tree for identification. To read more about it, here is the link to Michigan's green burials, the concept of which has been practized in Germany for many years: http://www.greenburials.org/ Ursula ____________________________________________________ There'll come a time, when you'll have no more time. ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, January 21, 2010 6:42:36 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: Re: [G-P-L] Burial practices I must say, this is quite interesting.
