-Cemeteries in Austria are typically well-maintained public spaces that serve as places of rest for the deceased. They are often managed by local municipalities and offer various options for internment, including traditional ground burials, columbariums, and niche walls.

+=== Cemetery inscriptions (Friedhofsinschriften) ===
-Ground burials involve placing the deceased in a coffin and interring it in a designated grave site. Columbariums are structures that house niches where urns containing cremated remains can be placed. Niche walls are similar to columbariums but offer a more vertical arrangement for urns.
+Research use: Often death information in early parish registers is very meager.  Used to identify adults and surviving children in parish registers.
-The specific practices and rituals associated with internment in Austria can vary depending on religious affiliation and regional customs. However, there are some common elements, such as the use of flowers, prayers, and eulogies to honor the deceased and comfort the bereaved. Additionally, Austria has a strong tradition of commemorating the dead on All Saints' Day (November 1), when families visit cemeteries to light candles and pay their respects.
