Our services

Was ist eine Erdbestattung?

A burial is a traditional and deep-rooted form of farewell that brings comfort to many people. We will guide you step by step during this farewell and want to design it in the way that best suits you — whether traditional, modern or completely individual. Berlin offers various options for a dignified funeral — whether in a historic cemetery or in a natural environment. We'll help you make the right choice for you.

Our individual support: Everyone has different needs during the time of grief. We want you to know all your options and help you find the path that is best for YOU right now. Contrary to general assumption, not everything has to be decided immediately, for example. You can still decide in which cemetery you want to bury yourself 1-2 weeks after you die or whether you would like a celebration or not. You can find more examples of our individual support here.

We design the right farewell for you

We understand that every funeral is individual and will help you create a dignified and personal burial in Berlin. From choosing the cemetery to the ceremony, we will provide you with advice, action and ideas to make it possible for you to say goodbye that suits you and your loved ones.

The process of our burial in Berlin

The burial usually begins with a funeral service. In most cases, the ceremony takes place in a cemetery chapel or church. It can be enriched by music, personal speeches and symbolic acts, such as the laying of flowers or the blessing. The organization of this celebration can vary greatly depending on the faith, tradition or personal wishes of the deceased person and their relatives. It doesn't have to be quiet and grey anymore, but should suit you and the deceased person. We are happy to support you here with ideas.

After the funeral service, the coffin is accompanied to the grave by the mourning community. The actual burial takes place there, during which the coffin is lowered into the ground. A final greeting is often said at this point, a prayer is recited or a poem is recited. Many relatives find the farewell ritual of throwing the earth — in which soil or flowers are sprinkled on the coffin — as particularly connecting and comforting.

Google Bewertung Memovida

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 erfĂŒllt. Es fĂŒhlte 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 ĂŒberzeugt. Wir haben unseren Lieben in guten HĂ€nden gewusst. Abschied fĂ€llt 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 unverschĂ€mt. 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 fĂŒr ihre einfĂŒhlsamen Worte die sie bei unserem GesprĂ€ch fand.
Ein letzter Satz zu ihren Preisen,einfach unschlagbar. Ich kann dieses Unternehmen mit ruhigem Gewissen allen nur empfehlen, die in der nÀchsten 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!
FĂŒr 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 fĂŒr diese tolle UnterstĂŒtzung 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 Ă€ußerst 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 fĂŒr unsere Fragen da und haben sĂ€mtliche Behördenwege sowie alle organisatorischen Aufgaben zu unserer vollsten Zufriedenheit abgewickelt. Besonders schĂ€tzen wir, dass uns alle bĂŒrokratischen Schritte abgenommen wurden. Ich kann dieses Bestattungsunternehmen uneingeschrĂ€nkt weiterempfehlen fĂŒr alle, die in dieser schweren Zeit eine zuverlĂ€ssige und fĂŒrsorgliche 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 einfĂŒhlsam mit Rat und Tat zur VerfĂŒgung 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 fĂŒr die liebevollen GesprĂ€che am Telefon und an alle anderen die ihr allerbestes gegeben haben.

Jeanett M.

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. LĂŒbbert, 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.

‍Our offers for burial sites in Berlin

Cemetery fees: The fees for the grave depend on the respective cemetery and the location of the grave. Berlin has municipal and church cemeteries with different fee schedules. For a single grave site, the costs vary between 1,000 and 4,000 euros, depending on the desired duration (usually 20 to 30 years) and the size of the grave. We would be happy to help you find the right burial site for you

Subsequent costs: These include tombstone and inscription costs as well as long-term grave maintenance. Simple tombstones start at around 1,000 euros, while more elaborate designs can cost up to several thousand euros. The costs of grave maintenance also depend on the size and planting of the grave. They can be obtained from the responsible cemetery gardener.

If you want to find a cemetery near you, we have here An overview has been put together for you.

We design the right farewell for you

We understand that every funeral is individual and will help you create a dignified and personal burial in Berlin. From choosing the cemetery to the ceremony, we will provide you with advice, action and ideas to make it possible for you to say goodbye that suits you and your loved ones.

Types of burial in Berlin

Reihengrab

Row graves are assigned in turn by the cemetery and have a fixed rest period of 20 years. It is not possible to extend the right of use. It is often possible to order grave maintenance for the entire duration immediately after the burial.

Wahlgrab

Election graves exist as single, double or family graves. Survivors can choose a grave site themselves within the available areas in the cemetery. The right of use can be extended after the 20-year rest period has ended. If further burials are carried out in an electoral grave, the right of use must be adjusted accordingly to ensure the prescribed rest period of the last person buried.

Anonymous Burial

In the case of an anonymous burial, the burial takes place in a grave that is not individually marked. However, there is often a central memorial stone where relatives can lay flowers. Not all cemeteries in Berlin offer this form of burial.

What are the benefits of burial?

A burial offers many people a sense of permanence and a permanent place of remembrance. Relatives can individually design and maintain the grave, which creates a personal connection. In addition, this form of burial often corresponds to traditional or religious ideas. There are various types of burial sites in Berlin, which can be chosen according to wishes and budget — from simple row graves to larger election burial sites for families.

How long does a burial last?

The duration of a burial depends on various factors. It usually takes place a few days to a maximum of two weeks after the death, as the body is buried without cremation. The actual funeral service usually lasts between 30 and 60 minutes, followed by burial at the grave. After the burial, the rest period begins, which is usually 20 years in Berlin — but it can vary depending on the cemetery and type of grave.
