Funeral benefits: insurance for you and your family

We know that dealing with one's own death is an unpleasant thought for many. Nevertheless, it makes sense to plan your own funeral early on and, if necessary, to financially secure it in order to relieve your own relatives in an emergency. This will be a huge relief for you too. On this page, we want to help you plan your retirement planning and ensure that everything goes according to your wishes. We would also be happy to assist you personally.

How does a funeral provision work?

  1. Record your wishes/get advice
    We recommend that you think about your own wishes first. We would be happy to assist you and discuss your ideas, wishes and financial options in a non-binding consultation.
  2. Define organizational details
    We record your decisions in a pension contract. This includes the type of burial, the place of burial or the arrangement of the funeral service.
  3. Choose financial security
    You decide whether to pay funeral expenses over a escrow account, one death benefit insurance or a one-time payment want to secure.
  4. Sign pension documents
    This includes the Funeral pension contract and possibly a separate burial order, in which you clearly state your wishes.
  5. Information for relatives
    Tell your relatives where your documents and contracts are stored in case of an emergency.

simplicity

We know that dying can be overwhelming. What should be done after a death? Which documents do I need? What is appropriate at a farewell party? ... That is why we want to support with simplicity. It starts with our service packages, which include everything you need — no complicated selection process. At the same time, we respond to your wishes, because every farewell is individual.

transparency

Many undertakers work with opaque cost models. Various additional items are often added to the basic price of a funeral, for example for transfers outside core times, for coffin or urn, or for cremation. This makes it difficult to overview the costs of a funeral and often leads to unpleasant surprises. On the other hand, we rely on transparent fixed prices without hidden costs.

Personal support

With us, you have a permanent contact person who will take care of everything related to your funeral. We will accompany you personally and in a way that is convenient for you.

How do you prepare for a funeral plan?

The more clarity you have about your wishes, the better you can plan your own funeral. Take some time and think about questions like:

  • How would I like to be buried?
    Burial, cremation, natural burial — what suits me?
  • Who should be involved in the event of death?
    Are there people who should take on certain tasks?
  • Are there any personal wishes for the funeral service or the location?
    Music, flowers, grave site — what is important to me?

How you can talk to your family about your retirement planning:

Talking about their own burial is difficult for many — especially with the family. But an open discussion can relieve the burden and create clarity for all parties involved. How you can address this topic carefully, we explain in detail

How can you financially secure a funeral?

So that your loved ones are not burdened with the costs in an emergency, there are two proven options for financial provision:

1. Escrow account
You deposit the desired amount once in a special escrow account. The money is earmarked, safe from access by third parties (e.g. for care costs) and is used exclusively for the funeral.

2. Death benefit insurance
If you prefer to pay monthly, death benefit insurance is a good idea. This is how you build up a secure pension cushion step by step with small contributions.

We will explain in detail which solution is best for you on our website for financial funeral provision.

The most important documents for your pension

Anyone who prepares early should not only arrange the funeral, but also prepare central documents:

  • Funeral pension contract: Here you can record all your wishes relating to your subsequent burial — from the type of burial to financial security.
  • power of attorney: With a pension power of attorney, you determine who can make decisions for you in an emergency — for example when dealing with authorities or banking transactions.
  • Health care directive: It determines which medical measures may be taken in an emergency — and which may not.
  • will: In this way, you clearly regulate what should happen with your estate and avoid possible disputes between relatives.

It is best to keep all documents in a central, easily accessible location — and inform your trusted persons about this.

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 erfüllt. Es fühlte 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 überzeugt. Wir haben unseren Lieben in guten Händen gewusst. Abschied fällt immer schwer, aber der Weg dorthin wurde uns durch das Team von Memovida erleichtert.
Danke und vor allem einen großen 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 unverschämt. Nach einiger Zeit bin ich auf ihr Unternehmen gestoßen. 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 für ihre einfühlsamen Worte die sie bei unserem Gespräch fand.
Ein letzter Satz zu ihren Preisen,einfach unschlagbar. Ich kann dieses Unternehmen mit ruhigem Gewissen allen nur empfehlen, die in der nächsten 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!
Für 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 für diese tolle Unterstützung in dieser schweren Zeit.
Ich kann Memovida mit ganzer Überzeugung 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.

Wir sind äußerst 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 für unsere Fragen da und haben sämtliche Behördenwege sowie alle organisatorischen Aufgaben zu unserer vollsten Zufriedenheit abgewickelt. Besonders schätzen wir, dass uns alle bürokratischen Schritte abgenommen wurden. Ich kann dieses Bestattungsunternehmen uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen für alle, die in dieser schweren Zeit eine zuverlässige und fürsorgliche 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 einfühlsam mit Rat und Tat zur Verfügung 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 für die liebevollen Gespräche 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

Ursula Z.
