This guide introduces selected biographies and graves connected with Düsseldorf North Cemetery, including Louise Dumont. It is not a complete account of the people buried at the cemetery.
Locating the graves
No precise grave position is shown here for Louise Dumont. Ask City of Düsseldorf, Parks, Cemeteries and Forestry Office for the section, row and grave number, then relate that reference to an entrance or named landmark on the general cemetery map.
Images for recognition
No grave or memorial photograph is shown for the selected people. Rely on the exact grave reference from City of Düsseldorf, Parks, Cemeteries and Forestry Office rather than on an assumed visual match.
Ask about another person
Send City of Düsseldorf, Parks, Cemeteries and Forestry Office the full name, known life dates, possible spelling variants and an approximate burial period. Ask specifically for the section, row and grave number. Include Am Nordfriedhof 1, 40468 Düsseldorf so the enquiry identifies Düsseldorf North Cemetery when the operator manages more than one cemetery.
