Comprehensive burial options
Every person and every family has individual ideas and wishes when it comes to their final resting place. We offer a variety of burial options that are tailored to your personal preferences. Here you will find a brief overview of the three most common burial options: burial, cremation and burial at sea.
Burial (coffin burial)
Burial, also known as coffin burial, is the most traditional form of burial. The deceased is buried in a coffin in a cemetery. This place serves as a permanent place of remembrance for relatives and friends. The costs for burial are higher than for cremation because a larger place of remembrance is created.
Cremation (urn burial)
In cremation, the deceased is first cremated and the ashes are then buried in an urn. This can take place either in a cemetery or in a special burial forest. Urn burial is less expensive and requires less maintenance than the burial with coffin. There are various options for burial, such as in a columbarium or in an urn grave.
Sea burial (sea burial)
Sea burial is a special form of burial in which the ashes of the deceased are given to the sea in a water-soluble urn. This usually takes place in the North or Baltic Sea. There is no permanent memorial, but the GPS coordinates of the burial site are recorded so that relatives know where the ashes were scattered. Sea burial is a type of burial that is close to nature and requires no maintenance and has no follow-up costs.

Passenger transport
In addition to transporting the deceased, we can also offer to chauffeur you and your family from your home to the cemetery, for example, with employees who have a passenger transport license and our minibus.
Lasting memories
With death masks and fingerprints, which we take in our own house and have a sculptor create a positive image, we offer you a lasting memory of your loved one. The deceased is not harmed in the process and even after the mask has been removed, there is still the option of saying your goodbyes at the open coffin if you wish.
Thanatopraxia
Saying goodbye at an open coffin can be particularly important if, for example, a person has had an accident. With the possibilities of thanatopraxia, we can often still make it possible to say your goodbyes in such cases.
Formalities & Support
We will advise you on all questions in the event of a bereavement and take as much work off your hands as possible. We will be happy to take care of all the formalities associated with a death that you do not have to deal with personally for legal reasons. This includes, for example, reporting to the registry office to obtain the death certificate, the German pension insurance company, the health insurance company, the church community and, of course, the cemetery and the crematorium. You can find a list of the documents that we will need to complete the formalities here .
