I am very happy that we arranged our burial via Memovida, Ruth Vossel. I am very relieved that everything was also so uncomplicated. It was all very nice and without much fuss, just as I wanted:) Digital communication and spontaneous consultation was great. We felt we were in good hands and understood. Thank you! :)
Competent team, discretion, consideration and care in the situation, as always friendly and helpful. There were no profitable sales talks or other unfair offers to turn a funeral into a business success. Thanks to Memovida.
We are very grateful to Memovida for her individual assistance with the funeral and paperwork relating to our request. Despite our strange circumstances, Ms. Lübbert was very sensitive and we felt well supported at all times.
Thanks for your work!
During this difficult time, you will receive very competent and respectful advice. The contact went smoothly. You were never left alone and were sensitively informed about every single step. Ms. Vossel and Mr. Kaiser as well as the team are incredibly sensitive and there for you. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you very much and can only recommend Memovida funerals.
If there were ten stars, we would award them. The processing and support deserves an extra star, everything went smoothly, you put it in the right hands. A huge thank you to Ms. Vossel and the entire team.
Very courteous, appropriate, quick availability at any time, uncomplicated communication. I can recommend 100 percent. All requests were taken into account.
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.
This funeral home is humane and highly recommended.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
Everyone has different needs during a time of grief. We want to address these and support you in a way that works for you. What do we mean by that? Contrary to popular belief, not everything has to be decided immediately. For example, you can decide a week or two after the death which cemetery to choose, whether you prefer a forest or sea burial, or if you would like a funeral service. The same applies to many other decisions. We will guide you step by step and help you make the necessary decisions at the right time. You can find more examples of our personalized support here.
It is important to us to support you with simple and fair pricing. That is why we work with straightforward fixed prices that include all standard funeral home services. The only additional costs are for the burial site. These costs vary significantly depending on the cemetery and the type of burial (e.g., burial at sea or forest burial). We would be happy to advise you on this. If you have additional requests beyond our service packages, such as a viewing with an open casket or a candle ritual during the funeral service, we will gladly arrange these for you as well. You can find our prices here.
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.
Memovida offers caring, fixed-price funerals in Berlin. English-speaking support for expats and locals. Trusted help with farewells and preplanning.
Go to Google MapsI 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.
Cremation is a common form of funeral in Berlin. After cremation, the urn may be buried in different ways, including an urn grave, lawn grave, columbarium, tree grave or communal grave. Several cemeteries in Berlin and nearby districts provide suitable options for urn burials.
Anonymous burial is usually the most affordable form of cremation because it requires no individually assigned grave, involves less maintenance and often includes a reduced ceremony. At Memovida in Berlin, our transparent fixed-price packages are Paket FEUER at €2,550 and Paket ANONYM at €1,900.
For example, the following cemeteries in Berlin offer urn or anonymous burial options:
We are here to guide you with care through every organisational step of a cremation or anonymous burial in Berlin.

Berlin comprises the districts of Mitte, Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, Pankow, Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf, Spandau, Steglitz-Zehlendorf, Tempelhof-Schöneberg, Neukölln, Treptow-Köpenick, Marzahn-Hellersdorf, Lichtenberg and Reinickendorf. Memovida organises the funeral for families living in these districts and takes responsibility for the arrangements connected with the death.
The Waldfriedhof Heerstraße is located in the Westend district of Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf, in the immediate vicinity of the Olympic Stadium. Spanning approximately 15 hectares, this park and forest cemetery features a unique terraced layout around Lake Sausuhlensee and is considered one of Berlin's significant garden monuments. The listed funeral hall, dating from the early 1920s, provides a dignified setting for farewell ceremonies and memorial services. Visiting hours vary by season: during the summer months from April to September, the cemetery is generally open from 7 AM to 8 PM, and in the winter months from October to March, from 8 AM to 6 PM. Its tranquil, natural atmosphere with old trees makes this a protected resting place for relatives and visitors.
The Zentralfriedhof Friedrichsfelde is located in the Lichtenberg district on Gudrunstraße and, covering approximately 32 hectares, is one of Berlin's largest cemeteries. Established in 1881 with park-like designs, the site is also widely known as the "Socialist Cemetery" and combines cultural-historical significance with an expansive, green character that invites quiet strolls and peaceful contemplation. A historic ceremonial hall is available for memorial services, and various burial forms, such as earth burials and urn interments, are offered. Opening hours are staggered seasonally: from February to November, the cemetery is generally accessible from 7:30 AM, and in December and January from 8 AM, in both cases until dusk.
The Waldfriedhof Zehlendorf is located in the Nikolassee district of Steglitz-Zehlendorf on Wasgensteig and, covering approximately 37.5 hectares, is the largest state-owned cemetery in this district. It was established from 1945 onwards within an existing pine forest, creating a harmonious landscape where graves and forest merge, radiating a quiet, contemplative atmosphere every day of the year. The modern ceremonial halls, with their large glass fronts, offer views of the surrounding forest, providing a dignified setting for farewells. Additionally, the Memoriam Garden, established in 2018, offers well-maintained, low-maintenance grave sites within a garden-like area. Visiting hours vary by season and typically extend from early morning until dusk.
The Cemetery of the Dorotheenstadt and Friedrichswerder Parishes, usually referred to simply as Dorotheenstadt Cemetery, is located in the Mitte district at Chausseestraße 126, not far from the Oranienburger Tor U-Bahn station. The approximately 1.7-hectare site, which is entirely a protected monument, was founded in 1762 and is one of the city's most culturally and historically significant burial grounds, characterized by artfully designed gravestones spanning several centuries. A funeral chapel from the period of its reopening in the 1920s is available for farewell ceremonies; urn interments are still possible today, and earth burial plots under certain conditions. Opening hours are staggered seasonally: daily from 8 AM to 4 PM in the winter months of January and December, extended in spring and autumn, and until 8 PM in the summer months of May to August.
The Old St. Matthew's Churchyard is located on Großgörschenstraße in the Schöneberg district of Tempelhof-Schöneberg, not far from Yorckstraße station, and captivates with its picturesque hillside location spanning approximately 50,000 square meters. Inaugurated in 1856, the cemetery is one of Berlin's most culturally and historically significant sites, known for its elaborately designed wall graves, mausoleums, and numerous honorary graves of the State of Berlin. Various forms of burial are possible in the churchyard, including earth and urn interments, tree burials, and a columbarium with an urn wall. The chapel and the small cemetery café in the former administrator's house create a lively yet respectful atmosphere, making the site a cherished setting for farewells. Visiting hours are seasonal, typically from 8 AM until the early evening, extending until 8 PM in the summer months of May to August.
