Much love to you.

Jede und jeder hat unterschiedliche Bedürfnisse in der Zeit der Trauer. Wir wollen darauf eingehen und Sie so begleiten, wie es für Sie passt. Was meinen wir damit? Entgegen der allgemeinen Annahme muss nicht alles sofort entschieden werden. Beispielsweise können Sie sich auch noch 1-2 Wochen nach dem Sterbefall entscheiden, auf welchem Friedhof beigesetzt werden soll, ob es eine Baum- oder Seebestattung werden soll oder ob Sie eine Abschiedsfeier wünschen. Das gleiche gilt für viele andere Entscheidungen. Wir begleiten Sie Schritt für Schritt und helfen Ihnen, zum richtigen Zeitpunkt die nötigen Entscheidungen zu treffen. Sie finden weitere Beispiele für unsere individuelle Begleitung hier.
Uns ist es wichtig, Sie durch eine einfache und faire Preisgestaltung zu entlasten. Daher arbeiten wir mit einfachen Festpreisen, in denen alle regulären Leistungen des Bestattungsunternehmens enthalten sind. Lediglich fallen noch Kosten für den Beisetzungsort an. Diese Kosten unterscheiden sich sehr stark zwischen verschiedenen Friedhöfen und Bestattungsarten (z.B. Seebestattung und Baumbestattung). Hierzu beraten wir Sie gerne. Wenn Sie über unsere Leistungspakete hinaus weitere Wünsche haben, wie z.B. einen Abschied am offenen Sarg oder ein Kerzenritual bei der Trauerfeier, setzen wir diese ebenfalls für Sie um. Sie finden unsere Preise hier.
You can create a free offer here or simply give us a call. In any case, we will provide you with a non-binding consultation, discuss any questions you may have and how you would like your funeral to proceed.

The transfer, cremation and all organizational formalities have already been included.

I am Christina and I am a companion at Memovida. I was able to gain my entry into the funeral industry and my previous experience in a traditional house in Hamburg. My training as a grief counselor and my (ongoing) continuing education as a death beam have taught me to think beyond the last breath. In my work, it is important to me to take pressure and stress away from families and loved ones. It is important to me to convey that we have time to make decisions and to arrange a coherent and appropriate farewell together. Even after my support has ended, I am still there for families and loved ones.
Berlin is a city full of diversity — this is also reflected in the funeral options. From traditional burials in urban cemeteries to alternative forms such as tree burials or sea burials, the capital offers a wide range of forms of farewell. However, Berlin's urban structure poses particular challenges: cemeteries are often centrally located and subject to specific regulations, while alternative forms of burial are becoming increasingly popular in and around Berlin. Regardless of the type of funeral, Memovida will provide you with individual support and ensure that you find a dignified and personal solution.
