Statute overview

About this statute

This part identifies the law on burial and cremation of human remains and lists its chapters. Les inhumations et l’utilisation des cendres doivent suivre les conditions prévues par la loi et les règlements grand-ducaux; les cendres peuvent aussi être déposées dans un columbarium. Each commune must have at least one cemetery, and new cemeteries must be outside built-up areas. Le conseil communal peut décider de construire un columbarium dans la commune avec l’approbation du ministre de l’intérieur. Burials are generally limited to cemeteries; the Grand Ducal family and the Bishop of Luxembourg may be buried in the cathedral crypt.
