The Order of Christian Funerals of the Roman Catholic Church earnestly recommends the celebration of the Committal Service at the immediate site of burial, entombment or inurnment.

German cemeteries are not as useful for genealogical purpose as those in the US. Normally gravesites are leased for 20-25 years, after which they may be renewed or usually revert to the cemetery owner (church or town) and are reused. Some gravesites are sold to a family and used for generations, but even then the site is reused within the family. Some gravestones of historic importance are retained for the long term. Gravesites are maintained by the families.

Monthly memorial Masses and an annual Celebration of Life Mass are held in remembrance of those who have died.

However, in smaller village cemeteries, the gates will only be opened when a burial is taking place. In most circumstances, a burial is officiated by a representative of the clergy. However, it is acceptable to have either a Humanist ceremony or for a family member to conduct their own non-religious ceremony.

Opening hours at cemeteries may vary due to location and seasonal adjustments also vehicle access may not be permitted at certain times.

Virginia statutes protect from disturbance all cemeteries, burial grounds, and human remains deposited in burial places. However, existing statutes do not address the legal responsibility for cemetery maintenance. In common practice, active cemeteries are maintained by property owners. In the case of private, family cemeteries, maintenance is often conducted by family descendants. Abandoned cemeteries often go unkempt.
