What is a burial?

In an earth burial, the deceased is laid to rest in a coffin and committed to the earth in a grave. It is also known as a coffin burial or interment and is the oldest and most traditional form of farewell.

In Germany, there is a mandatory coffin requirement: burial generally takes place in a coffin in a cemetery. A funeral service usually takes place before or after the burial.

STEP-BY-STEP GUIDANCE

So läuft eine Burial ab

You don't have to go through anything alone. We'll walk every step with you — with empathy and without pressure.

1

Contact & Power of Attorney

You call us or inquire online – we'll calmly discuss everything and answer your questions. With a simple funeral power of attorney, we'll take care of every organizational step for you from that point on.

2

Collection of the deceased

We collect the deceased person around the clock – from their home, a hospital, nursing home, or hospice. Subsequently, our experienced regional partners ensure a dignified transfer to a local crematorium.

3

Reporting the death & applying for certificates

We report the death to the registry office and apply for the death certificates on your behalf. We will inform you in advance which documents we require from you, depending on the marital status.

4

Cremation at the crematorium

Once approved, we coordinate the cremation and handle all necessary paperwork. Afterwards, we transfer the urn to your chosen location – be it a cemetery, a burial forest, or a port for a sea burial.

5

Interment at your preferred location

Depending on the type of funeral, we organize the interment locally or in the surrounding area. Upon request, we can also plan the farewell ceremony – personalized and tailored to your wishes.

6

Deregistration & survivor benefits

Using the death certificates, we manage the deregistration with health and pension insurance. For married individuals, we also apply for the survivor's pension for the surviving partner.

What types of graves are available?

Various types of graves are available for coffin burials. Which one is possible depends on the specific cemetery:

  • Row grave – assigned in sequence, for one person, without extension.
  • Choice or family grave – location and size freely selectable, extendable over generations.
  • Community or lawn grave – low maintenance, with a central name plaque.
  • Anonymous grave – without visible marking of the grave site.
  • Vault – a masonry burial site for multiple interments.

We would be happy to advise you on which type of grave suits your wishes.
