Grabpflege

Stiftung Dauergrabpflege Kanton Luzern is a trust organisation for cemetery gardening businesses in the Canton of Lucerne, Switzerland. It arranges and oversees professional, long-term care of graves, helping families maintain a dignified and personal place of remembrance without having to manage the work themselves. Its services include comprehensive, non-binding advice, temporary grave design after a burial, initial planting, seasonal flower arrangements throughout the contractual rest period, and regular maintenance such as pruning, weeding and watering.

The foundation manages the grave-care agreement and securely administers the funds paid for the contracted services. It guarantees the agreed planting and maintenance, conducts quality checks, and operates under the supervision of the relevant statutory control bodies. Garden businesses are selected according to strict criteria, and a qualified local foundation gardener serves as the direct contact for clients.

The organisation works with 24 gardening businesses and supports care at 71 cemeteries across the canton. Its website also helps visitors locate cemeteries and gardening providers, while allowing people to plan and fund future grave care in advance
