Was ist eine Baumbestattung?

Tree burial offers a peaceful and natural alternative to traditional forms of burial. Many people find comfort and strength in nature, and a resting place under a tree symbolizes the eternal cycle of life and nature. In cemetery forests or rest forests, the ashes of the deceased are buried in urns made of biodegradable material in specially designated forest areas, where the trees serve as living monuments. A small plaque on the tree commemorates the deceased person.

Tranquil forests and cemetery forests offer relatives a space in which they can commemorate traditional cemeteries free of rigid forms. Instead of tombstones, the trees and nature itself remind us of the lives of the deceased.

    Nach dem unerwarteten Tod meiner Frau habe ich einige Bestatter kontaktiert um eine Preisvorstellung zu haben,was auf mich zukommt. Die Preise waren eigentlich unverschämt. Nach einiger Zeit bin ich auf ihr Unternehmen gestoßen. Ich kann nur sagen, hier stimmte alles vom Anfang bis zum Ende der Betreuung durch Frau Haan. Auch die Beisetzung am Wunschort meiner Frau wurde möglich gemacht. Nochmals Danke an Frau Haan für ihre einfühlsamen Worte die sie bei unserem Gespräch fand.
    Ein letzter Satz zu ihren Preisen,einfach unschlagbar. Ich kann dieses Unternehmen mit ruhigem Gewissen allen nur empfehlen, die in der nächsten Zeit auch vor diesem schweren Schritt stehen.

    Für die Mitarbeiter steht der Mensch an erster Stelle und sie geben acht darauf alles so zu verwirklichen wie man es sich vorstellt.
    Ich danke euch ganz besonders Frau Vossel für diese tolle Unterstützung in dieser schweren Zeit.
    Ich kann Memovida mit ganzer Überzeugung weiterempfehlen!
    Bleibt wie ihr seit, die Welt braucht mehr Menschen wie ihr es seid!

    I recently suffered the loss of my partner. Navigating many levels of German bureaucracy as a non native speaker was challenging at best. I was therefore very concerned about the funeral process, but Christina and her team were amazing. They listen to your ideas, offer helpful suggestions, all pricing and steps are completely transparent, they are happy to conduct business in English if necessary, and I absolutely could not recommend them more.

    Am Freitag letzte Woche ist meine Mama nun ihren letzten Weg gegangen. Wir haben mit Memovida liebe Menschen gefunden, die uns einfühlsam mit Rat und Tat zur Verfügung standen, etwas unkonventionell aber die beste Entscheidung die wir treffen konnten. Von Anfang bis Ende wurden wir super betreut, dass ich Zeit hatte um meine Mama zu trauern. Vielen Dank an Frau Haan für die liebevollen Gespräche am Telefon und an alle anderen die ihr allerbestes gegeben haben.

    Memovida's service was top-notch: attentive,
    knowledgeable and responsive and advises foreign customers on
    German customs. The employees were quickly available
    and I've received an answer to all my questions.
    Special thanks to Mr. Manuel Kaiser.

    Pertti H.

    Thank you Mrs. Haan, I was unable to arrange for my beloved husband's funeral elsewhere. What all that happens to you and what you have to manage. Suddenly you're all alone but thanks to Mrs. Haan, I've overcome the hardest time of my life. The funeral service was very emotional and thanks also for The Funeral Speaker. My laundering after the resting place was also
    fulfilled. You can't thank them enough as sensitively as they were for me during this difficult time.
    Much love to you.
    Kind regards

    Ursula Z.

    In a difficult phase for me, your company was extremely committed,
    absolute reliability as well as competent execution and exact compliance with all
    The promises made provide me with indispensable support and help.
    In particular, dear Mrs. Lübbert, I would like to thank you for your empathy, the sensitive
    cordiality, understanding of every detail and everything you've done for me and
    have implemented the greatest thanks and express the highest appreciation.
    They were simply always there!
    Your company will be a great success with genuine, consistent customer orientation
    You can be sure of that.

    How does a tree burial work?

    When burial a tree is carried out, a suitable tree is first selected. On the day of the funeral, the mourning community meets at the appropriate resting place, where the urn is carefully placed in the ground. On request, relatives can arrange a small ceremony. Many opt for natural decoration, without artificial elements, in order to preserve the harmony of the forest.

    Afterwards, it is possible to visit the square without a tombstone or fixed frame, but with a small plaque on the tree that commemorates the deceased person.

    Where can tree burials take place in Frankfurt?

  • Waldfriedhof Oberrad: This municipal cemetery offers natural urn burials under trees in the so-called mourning grove. The cemetery's infrastructure, including a funeral home and sanitary facilities, is available.
  • Heiligenstock Park Cemetery: Tree burials are also possible here. The cemetery is located in northeast Frankfurt and offers a quiet, nature-loving environment for the final resting place
  • FriedWald and Ruheforst locations in the Frankfurt area can be found here: FriedWald locations and Ruheforst locations
  • We will assist you with a burial under trees in Frankfurt

    Our team will help you with every step of a tree burial — from picking up the deceased person to choosing the tree to organising the farewell party. We are also happy to coordinate with FriedWald, Ruheforst or Cemetery as well as all formalities. Let us create a dignified farewell in nature together.

    Frequently asked questions about tree burial

    How can I make a burial in the funeral forest mandatory during my lifetime?

    In order to secure tree burial in FriedWald or RuheForst during your lifetime, you can conclude a funeral contract. In doing so, you select your desired tree or location and acquire the appropriate right of use. This is confirmed by a document, which serves as grave evidence. An early decision relieves the burden on your relatives and ensures that your wishes are respected.

    What are the requirements for a forest burial?

    Prior cremation is required for tree burial, as only urn burials are allowed. The urn must be biodegradable so as not to disturb the natural cycle. It is also important that the burial complies with the respective regulations of the chosen funeral forest. As a rule, tombstones, artificial grave decorations and candles are not permitted in order to preserve the naturalness of the forest.

    FriedWald or cemetery — What are the differences?

    One major difference between FriedWald and traditional cemeteries lies in the design and maintenance of the burial sites. In FriedWald, burial takes place at the roots of a tree, without a tombstone or individual planting. Nature takes care of it so that there is no effort for relatives. In cemeteries, on the other hand, individual grave designs are common, which require regular maintenance. In addition, only biodegradable urns are allowed in FriedWald, while both earth and urn burials are possible in cemeteries.

    Which flowers are suitable for a forest burial?

    When burial in a forest, it is important to respect the natural environment. Therefore, only flowers that are found in the forest or are native to the forest should be used. Bouquets of wildflowers or individual flowers can be laid down during the ceremony. Non-biodegradable floral arrangements, wreaths or flower arrangements should be avoided so as not to disturb the ecological cycle and protect wildlife.

    We would be happy to provide you with further information or personal advice.
