A funeral plot can be purchased either before or after a death. Here’s what each situation entails:

1. Before Death: A person may choose to purchase a plot during their lifetime to arrange for their own burial in advance. This ensures a designated resting place for oneself, and possibly for close relatives depending on the type of plot chosen. This request is made at the town hall and is a comforting solution for those who wish to relieve their family from this responsibility.

2. After Death: If a plot was not purchased before death, family members can request one afterward for the burial of the deceased. In this case, the application is also submitted to the town hall in the municipality where the cemetery is located.

In both cases, it’s essential to check with the local town hall for the specific terms and availability, as these can vary by municipality.
