Under \u00a7 26 (4) sentence 1 of the state burial act (Bestattungsgesetz Schleswig-Holstein), the operator of a municipal or shared-denomination cemetery has to permit burial without a coffin where this was the wish of the deceased. It is not left to the administration&#8217;s discretion. Since the revision that took effect on 1 January 2025 the wish of the deceased is sufficient; a religious reason no longer has to be shown.<\/p>\n<p>The rule applies to municipal and shared-denomination cemeteries. Church-owned cemeteries are not covered, and several Muslim burial sections in the state lie on church ground. How a burial proceeds there is set out in that cemetery&#8217;s own regulations.<\/p>\n<h2>Muslim burial sections in Schleswig-Holstein<\/h2>\n<div style=\"overflow-x:auto;margin:18px 0\">\n<table style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:15px;line-height:1.45;min-width:640px\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align:start;padding:10px 12px;border-bottom:2px solid #877249;font-weight:700\">Town<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:start;padding:10px 12px;border-bottom:2px solid #877249;font-weight:700\">Cemetery<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:start;padding:10px 12px;border-bottom:2px solid #877249;font-weight:700\">Burial in a shroud<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:10px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #e6e3dc;font-weight:600;white-space:nowrap\">L\u00fcbeck<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:10px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #e6e3dc\">Waldhusen <span style=\"opacity:.7\">(municipal)<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:10px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #e6e3dc\">Provided for in the cemetery statute (\u00a7 6 (2)).

Some operators never amended their statute and permit it all the same. A silent statute is therefore not a no.<\/p>\n<p>The reverse holds as well. Flensburg has a designated Muslim burial section and a washing room in the adjoining crematorium. According to the cemetery administration, however, burials there take place in coffin graves only. Anyone relying on the burial section alone is in for a surprise on the day.<\/p>\n<p>We speak to the cemetery administrations and record every answer with its date on the relevant town page. What we do not know is shown as open.<\/p>\n<h2>What we take care of<\/h2>\n<p>We are a funeral company run by a master craftsman, based in L\u00fcbeck and working across the state. We carry out the ritual washing (ghusl) and the wrapping in the kafan, or accompany the family in doing so. We clarify with the cemetery administration what is possible at the given place, register the death with the authorities and arrange the transfer, including repatriation abroad.<\/p>\n<p>We are available around the clock. After a death the first hours count, because Islamic practice calls for burial as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;
