Urnenfriedhof/Feuerhalle, Historic crematorium and urn cemetery in Graz, Austria
The Urnenfriedhof/Feuerhalle is a cremation cemetery with a crematorium building and multiple types of burial arrangements set in a park-like setting. Visitors find wall niches for urns, natural ground burials beneath trees, and open grass areas.

The grounds are open daily from early morning until dusk and invite quiet walks through the space. The administration office is available most weekdays to answer questions.
