There are over 20 city-run cemeteries in Fulda, plus a few denominational and Jewish cemeteries. An additional five cemeteries are no longer in use and are deemed defunct.

For the ones run by the city, the main contact is:
Städtische Friedhöfe von Fulda / Allgemeine Friedhofsverwaltung
Künzeller Straße 106
36043 Fulda
GERMANY

The formerly independent village of Kohlhaus came to Fulda in 1972. Its small cemetery is only an acre in size. It's located right next to some rail road tracks. A fairly new cemetery, the oldest stone is from the 1930's.

Please note that the graves in Germany are not perpetual. After a certain period of repose (20-30 years) the graves are being leveled and re-used. There is no toxic embalming being done in Germany, so the coffin and the corpse can decompose naturally. If the family of the deceased decides to purchase another period, the duration can be extended by another 20-30 years. Otherwise the grave will be leveled and reused, the marker than used as gravel in road construction. War Graves are considered memorials and are kept up by the owner of the cemetery. Those are kept forever. Also the town or owner of the cemetery might find a grave of historical significance and will protect and keep it indefinitely.
