A traditional burial involves placing the deceased in a coffin in a grave at a cemetery. It is one of Germany’s longest-established funeral traditions.
One of the oldest forms of burial and still a deeply personal choice.
We immediately take care of everything necessary — day and night, every day.
Take your time to get an overview — of the process, costs, and options.
With a traditional burial, the deceased is laid to rest in a coffin in the ground. In Germany, coffin use is generally required, with certain religious exceptions depending on the region. A funeral ceremony may take place before or after burial.
You don't have to go through anything alone. We'll walk every step with you — with empathy and without pressure.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
All regular services are included in the package price. Only the costs for the burial site are extra — these depend on the region and cemetery.
Our package includes a coffin from our selection, advice, transport throughout Germany, cooling, coordination with the cemetery and civil registry paperwork.
You pay these costs directly to the cemetery or crematorium — we list them transparently.
Cemetery options may include a single-use row grave, a renewable family or chosen grave, a low-maintenance communal or lawn grave, or an unmarked grave. Availability and rules differ by cemetery.
