Here's a map of the Basel cemetery Friedhof am Hörnli, which is also the same cemetery where Karl Barth was buried.

When you visit, you will see her unique tombstone, which symbolically represents the circumincession of the Trinity. It was carved by Albert Schilling, who also carved the altar in the Basel Allerheiligen church.

Tombstone of Adrienne Kaegi - von Speyr (1902-1967)
"I believe as best I can; I hope as best I can; I love, finally, as best I can. But the Son's love--and in it the love of the triune God--is infinite, accompanying the dying through death and leading them to their place in eternal life" (Adrienne von Speyr, The Mystery of Death, 114).
