The town of Olsberg maintains the cemetery in the town centre. This is intended for the residents of the Bigge, Olsberg and Helmeringhausen districts.

The allocation of gravesites and the burial work is carried out by the authorised representative of the cemetery administration of the town of Olsberg.

Types of grave:
