Erecting a gravestone or memorial

If you want to place a headstone or memorial plaque on a grave, you'll need a permit from the municipality. Your headstone specialist can take care of this for you.

If you wish to place a memorial in a public space, you need permission from the road authority. This is often the municipality, but it can also be Rijkswaterstaat, the province, or the water board. It is important that the memorial does not compromise traffic safety. For example, you can place a memorial in a public space to honor a victim of a traffic accident or a victim of senseless violence.
