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.

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.

What our customers say about us

Google Bewertung Memovida

Highly recommended!! The Memovida team was by our side in all matters and fulfilled every “special request” or any further request to the fullest extent to our satisfaction. It felt very respectful in every situation when dealing with us and also with our deceased. The quick and factual, yet heartfelt advice immediately convinced us. We knew that our loved ones were in good hands. It's always difficult to say goodbye, but the Memovida team made it easier for us to get there.
Thank you and especially a big thank you to Mrs Vossel.

Sebastian S.

After the unexpected death of my wife, I contacted several undertakers to get an idea of what to expect. The prices were actually outrageous. After some time, I came across their company. I can only say that everything was right here from the start to the end of the care provided by Mrs. Haan. The burial at my wife's preferred location was also made possible. Thanks again to Mrs. Haan for her sensitive words, which she found during our conversation.
One last sentence about their prices, simply unbeatable. I can only recommend this company with a clear conscience to anyone who is also facing this difficult step in the near future.

In the most difficult situation, they will provide you with advice and assistance without thinking about profit!
For employees, people come first and they take care to implement everything as you would like it to be.
I would particularly like to thank you Mrs. Vossel for this great support during this difficult time.
I can recommend Memovida with complete conviction!
Stay as you are, the world needs more people like you!

Angelique

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.

Anna B.

Quick answers, permanent availability. Fixed prices without neg. surprises. Efficient communication and processing means no time wasted on unnecessary meetings.

Steffen H.

We are extremely satisfied with the service we received from Memovida. Mr. Kaiser and his team provided us with excellent support from start to finish, were always there to answer our questions and handled all administrative processes and organizational tasks to our complete satisfaction. We particularly appreciate the fact that all bureaucratic steps have been taken away from us. I can fully recommend this funeral home to anyone who needs reliable and caring care during this difficult time. Thanks to the Memovida team.

Robert B.

On Friday last week, my mom went her last journey. With Memovida, we found lovely people who were available to us with advice and assistance, a bit unconventional but the best decision we could make. From start to finish, we received great care so that I had time to mourn my mom. Many thanks to Mrs. Haan for the lovely conversations on the phone and to everyone else who did their very best.

Jeanett M.

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.

Pertti H.

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.

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. Lübbert, 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.
