Great Interest in 'Adopting' a Grave at the American Cemetery in Margraten
On 2026-09-12, 150 graves at the American cemetery in Margraten, Limburg, were quickly adopted after a six-year registration freeze. Merel Keulen (28) from Heerlen described the process as similar to waiting for festival tickets, needing help to refresh the website and secure a spot. The cemetery commemorates nearly 10,000 American soldiers from World War II. Adopters must visit the graves several times a year and lay flowers on specific days. Keulen expects to receive a grave within two years due to high demand.
