What is a 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.

    Dieses Bestattungsinstitut ist menschlich und absolut empfehlenswert.
    In der schwersten Situation stehen sie einem mit Rat und Tat zur Seite ohne dabei an Profit zu denken!
    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.

Ich kann dieses Bestattungsunternehmen uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen für alle, die in dieser schweren Zeit eine zuverlässige und fürsorgliche Betreuung benötigen. Vielen Dank an das Memovida Team.

    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 Hamburg?

  • Öjendorf cemetery: This cemetery in Eastern Hamburg offers urn burials under trees. Nature takes care of the burial sites for up to four urns here.
  • Volksdorf cemetery: Located in the Northwest of Hamburg, this idyllic cemetery merges into a forest that is also known as “Ohlendorff's Tannen.” Tree burials in natural surroundings are possible here.
  • Hamburg-Bergedorf Cemetery: This cemetery offers various burial options, including urn forest graves under trees.
  • Waldfrieden am Barockpark Jersbek: Located about 30 kilometers northeast of Hamburg, this funeral forest offers natural burials under trees. The Deceased's Ashes Are Buried in the Root Area of a Tree in a Biodegradable Urn
  • FriedWald and Ruheforst locations in the Hamburg area can be found here: FriedWald locations and Ruheforst locations
  • We support you with a burial under trees in Hamburg

    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?

    To ensure tree burial while you are still alive, you can reserve a place in the FriedWald or RuheForst of your choice. This is done by acquiring the right to use a specific tree or tree space. After conclusion of the contract, you will receive a certificate as proof. It is advisable to record this decision in a funeral order and inform your loved ones about it in order to clearly document your wish.

    What are the requirements for a forest burial?

    • Cremation: Burial takes place in a biodegradable urn, so prior cremation is required.
    • Biodegradable urn: Only urns that completely decompose and do not leave any harmful substances may be used.
    • Place of burial: The burial must take place in an officially recognized funeral forest such as FriedWald or RuheForst.
    • Rest periods: The rest periods vary depending on the location and are generally between 15 and 99 years.

    It is important to find out in advance about the specific regulations of the chosen funeral forest.

    FriedWald or cemetery — What are the differences?

    • Natural environment: In FriedWald, burial takes place in the middle of a forest, while cemeteries are often located and designed in an urban setting.
    • Grave care: In FriedWald, nature takes care of the burial site, so that relatives do not have to care for them. Regular care and maintenance are common in cemeteries.
    • Design: Tombstones and artificial grave decorations are not allowed in FriedWald; instead, a small name plate can be attached to the tree. In cemeteries, individual grave designs with tombstones and plantings are possible.
    • Costs: Tree burials in FriedWald are often cheaper, as there are no grave maintenance costs and the fees for burial sites vary.

    Which flowers are suitable for a forest burial?

    When burying trees in FriedWald, it is important to respect the natural environment. Therefore, artificial grave decorations and non-native plants are not permitted. The following are allowed:

    • Local flowers: wildflowers or bouquets made from local plant species that blend harmoniously into the forest environment.
    • Petals: Scattering flower petals during the ceremony is a natural and allowed gesture.

    It is advisable to find out about the specific guidelines of the chosen funeral forest before burial in order to preserve the natural character of the forest.
