The process of a burial in Munich

A burial usually begins with a funeral service. This usually takes place in a cemetery chapel or church. Personal Speeches, Musical Accompaniment and Symbolic Acts such as Laying Flowers Can Enrich the Ceremony. The design is based on the beliefs, traditions or personal wishes of the deceased person and their relatives. It doesn't have to be reserved or conventional, but should reflect the character of the deceased person. We are happy to help you with individual planning.

After the Funeral Service, the Mourning Community Accompanies the Coffin to the Grave. The burial takes place there, during which the coffin is lowered into the ground. A final greeting is often said, a prayer is recited or a poem is recited. Many relatives find the ritual of throwing the earth — sprinkling soil or flowers on the coffin — as unifying and comforting. After the Burial, the Grave Remains a Place of Remembrance and Reflection for the Bereaved

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
