Tree Burial is a beautiful and nature-oriented alternative to traditional burials. It offers a resting place in nature, where the cycle of life is symbolically continued through the tree as a living monument. In cemetery forests or rest forests, the ashes of the deceased are buried in biodegradable urns in designated forest areas. A small plaque on the tree commemorates the deceased person and provides relatives with a silent place of remembrance in the midst of nature.
Tranquility Forests and Cemetery Forests create space for a personal and less formal way of remembrance, free from the strict requirements of traditional cemeteries. Here, nature takes care of the resting place, which offers relatives a noticeable relief.

Tree burial is often less expensive than traditional burial in a cemetery. Since nature takes care of the grave, there is no need to care for the grave. In addition, many people find being close to nature particularly valuable and in harmony with their lifestyle.
There are tree burial sites in the city of Cologne in the following cemeteries:
There is no FriedWald or Ruhforst directly in Cologne. The nearest locations are:
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.
During a tree burial, a tree is first selected to be the resting place. For the funeral, the mourning community gathers at the tree, where the urn is embedded in the ground. On request, a small ceremony can be arranged, which is usually held close to nature and without artificial decorations, in order to preserve the harmony of the forest. A plaque on the tree is a permanent reminder of the deceased person.
