Cremation usually begins with a funeral service, which is held either before cremation with the coffin or after cremation with the urn. This Ceremony Often Takes Place in a Cemetery Chapel, a Church, or an Individually Chosen Room. Music, personal speeches and symbolic acts such as lighting candles or laying down flowers can add a personal touch to the celebration.
In Germany, cremation always takes place in a coffin. This means that the deceased person is always first buried in a coffin, even if the funeral service is only planned after cremation. Cremation is carried out in compliance with strict legal requirements and to the highest standards. After cremation, the ashes are kept in an urn, which is later buried in a cemetery, in a columbarium or in natural areas. The Burial of the Urn can also be combined with a farewell ceremony, during which poems, prayers or personal words are recited.
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 groĂen 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 gestoĂen. 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 Ăberzeugung 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. Ăberraschungen. Durch die effiziente Kommunikation u. Abwicklung keine Zeitverschwendung mit unnötigen Besprechungen.
Wir sind Ă€uĂerst 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.
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. 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.

Cremation is a contemporary and increasingly popular form of burial that enables a dignified farewell. For relatives, the urn offers a place of remembrance â whether in a classic urn grave, a columbarium or at a natural burial, for example under a tree. In Hamburg, there are many ways to design a cremation individually and sensitively.
There are specific legal requirements for cremations in Hamburg. Cremation may only be carried out after a second medical examination in order to establish the cause of death beyond doubt. There is also a so-called cemetery duty in Germany, which requires that the ashes of the deceased must be buried in a cemetery. Exceptions, such as sea burials, require special permission.
The order of cremation is usually the responsibility of the next of kin. The legal order of funeral beneficiaries is defined as follows in Hamburg:
Should the deceased have left a funeral order during his lifetime, this is binding and takes precedence over the wishes of the relatives.
The following documents are required to carry out a cremation in Hamburg:
If there is no declaration of intent, the next of kin can order cremation.
In the case of anonymous cremation, the urn is buried without individual identification of the grave site. In Hamburg, some cemeteries offer the opportunity for relatives to attend the anonymous burial.
In addition to traditional urn graves, modern forms of burial are gaining in importance. Urn walls, also known as columbaries, offer space for several urns and enable space-saving burial. Memorial stones or steles on community graves provide a central memorial for several deceased people.
In Hamburg, the scattering of ashes on public land is not permitted. Alternatively, sea burials can be carried out in the North Sea or Baltic Sea, subject to appropriate approval. In addition, some cemeteries offer special areas for natural burials, where the urn is buried under trees, for example.
Cremation has both positive and negative ecological effects. On the one hand, it enables space-saving burial and reduces land consumption in cemeteries. On the other hand, the cremation process consumes energy and causes COâ emissions. However, modern crematoria rely on energy-efficient technologies and filter systems to minimize environmental impact. In addition, biodegradable urns and natural forms of burial can increase environmental friendliness.
At Memovida, we are here to advise you on finding the right and environmentally friendly form of burial in Hamburg.
