About the "Urn at Home" concept

In Germany, there is generally a cemetery burial requirement. Permanent storage of an urn at home is not permitted. In Switzerland, however, the legal situation is significantly more liberal. Here, the ashes can be handed over to the relatives, who are free to decide where and how they wish to arrange the final resting place.

With the "Urn at Home" concept, you acquire a burial plot in the Swiss Alps. There, you have the option to inter the ashes after a personal farewell, which is not time-limited. This allows you to legally take the urn home – even in Germany. 

This is the process for the “Urn to Home” service.

 1. Contact & Consultation

You call us – we will clarify everything in a personal conversation.

2. Pickup & Preparation

We will pick up the deceased person at the desired location (hospital, nursing home, home), take care of the encoffining, and ensure cooling until cremation.

3. Cremation

The cremation takes place with a cremation coffin in a crematorium in Germany.

4. Acquisition of the Alpine Meadow Grave in Switzerland / Authorization

We will coordinate the acquisition of a burial plot in Switzerland for you. You will receive authorization to inter the urn yourself.

5. Shipping of the Urn to Memovida

The urn is sent directly from the crematorium to us (it does not go to Switzerland).

6. Handover of the Urn to You

We will hand over the urn and an extract from the burial register, and you will confirm receipt. Afterwards, you can inter the urn at a location of your choice. Alternatively, the urn can be delivered to your home by courier.

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
