The cemeteries in Vienna have again significantly increased their fees. Not for the first time in recent years. Rates have risen sharply since 2020. There are also surcharges that sometimes seem arbitrary. Will a grave in Vienna soon become an unaffordable luxury?
Cemetery fees were quietly increased on January 1st. An earthen grave for four people and ten years of use now costs up to 990 euros. That is an increase of 70 euros compared to 2023. The comparison with 2020, or the start of the legislature, is even clearer.
At the time, you had to pay 800 euros for the same grave over ten years. About 20 percent less. In addition, there are surcharges for extensions – for lids, edges, etc. – which can cost a lot of money. “We charge extra for every action,” complains a “Krone” reader.
