Grave planting
Grave planting means renewing existing plants or creating new plantings, choosing plants that suit the particular grave. When planning the planting, we take into account the grave's location, sun and shade, the soil, the space available, the existing grave fittings and how the grave can be cared for in future.
The aim is to create harmonious, easy-care plantings that complement the overall layout of the grave and keep their decorative appearance in the long term.

Important
Written permission from the grave keeper
If planting the grave involves removing, cutting down or transplanting existing plants, establishing new perennial plants or making other significant changes to the layout of the grave, including planting thujas and mourning trees, written permission from the grave holder is required before the work can be carried out. The grave holder is the person who has concluded a grave maintenance agreement with the cemetery concerned. Permission is issued by the manager of the cemetery concerned.
On-site inspection
To choose the most suitable plants and prepare a quote for the work, an on-site inspection of the grave may be needed. During the inspection we assess the existing plants, the condition of the soil, the light and the space available.
Individual pricing
The cost of planting work is calculated individually depending on the plants chosen, the materials needed and the scope of the work.
