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, Trees and Nature Itself are Reminders of the Lives of the Deceased

When burial a tree is carried out, a suitable tree is first selected. On the day of the funeral, the mourning community meets in FriedWald or Ruheforst, where the BurNe is carefully introduced into 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. The forest remains a natural space and continues to develop — a living place of remembrance.
Sehr zu empfehlen!! Das Team von Memovida hat uns in allen Belangen zur Seite gestanden und jeden "Sonderwunsch" oder jede weitere Anfrage vollsten nach unserer Zufriedenheit erfüllt. Es fühlte sich in jeder Lage sehr respektvoll im Umgang mit uns und auch mit unserem Verstorbenen an. Die schnelle und sachliche, gleichwohl aber auch herzliche Beratung hat uns direkt überzeugt. Wir haben unseren Lieben in guten Händen gewusst. Abschied fällt immer schwer, aber der Weg dorthin wurde uns durch das Team von Memovida erleichtert.
Danke und vor allem einen großen Dank and Frau Vossel.
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.
Schnelle Antworten, permanente Erreichbarkeit. Festpreise ohne neg. Überraschungen. Durch die effiziente Kommunikation u. Abwicklung keine Zeitverschwendung mit unnötigen Besprechungen.
Wir sind äußerst zufrieden mit dem Service, den wir von Memovida erhalten haben. Herr Kaiser und sein Team haben uns von Anfang bis zum Ende hervorragend betreut, waren jederzeit für unsere Fragen da und haben sämtliche Behördenwege sowie alle organisatorischen Aufgaben zu unserer vollsten Zufriedenheit abgewickelt. Besonders schätzen wir, dass uns alle bürokratischen Schritte abgenommen wurden. 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.
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
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.
FriedWald is an alternative to the classic cemetery. In the middle of the forest, the ashes of deceased people rest in biodegradable urns under trees. A small name plate on the tree draws attention to the grave
There are four cemetery forests in Berlin.

Many people want to decide early on that they will be buried later in a funeral forest. This is possible through funeral provision. With an appropriate contractual arrangement, you can ensure during your lifetime that your funeral is carried out according to your personal requirements.
The following steps are important:
We would be happy to advise you on the options for Funeral provision and help you take all necessary steps.
In Germany, tree burials are only possible in specially approved funeral forests such as FriedWald or RuheForst and in selected cemeteries. The following requirements must be met:
Both variants offer near-natural burial options, with FriedWald and RuheForst burials often offering greater proximity to untouched nature.
Since forest burials are based on the principle of being close to nature, natural flower arrangements or individual flowers are recommended. The following options are suitable:
Many funeral forests have special regulations for grave decoration. Artificial flowers, wreaths with non-degradable materials or elaborate arrangements are generally not allowed. We would be happy to advise you on which design options are possible in your chosen funeral forest.
We are always available for further information or individual advice.
