You can find our prices here.
In this short video, we give you an insight into how we support you in the event of bereavement — sensitively, transparently and reliably. Get to know our philosophy and find out how we make funerals easier and more personal.
Everyone grieves differently and has individual needs during this difficult time. We would like to guide you in the way that is right for you. This means that not all decisions have to be made immediately. For example, one to two weeks after the death, you can still consider in which cemetery in Cologne the burial should take place or whether you would like to plan an urn burial. It is also possible to discuss in peace whether a farewell party is desired or which details the ceremony should include. We will guide you step by step, help you make the right decisions and will always be by your side with our funeral advice. You can find more information about our individual support here.
We know that transparency and fair pricing are important to relieve you during this difficult time. That is why we offer simple fixed prices that include all regular services provided by the funeral home in Cologne. In addition, there are only costs for the place of burial in cemeteries in Cologne, which vary depending on the type of burial — such as sea burial or tree burial. If you have any special wishes, such as a farewell at an open coffin or a candle ritual at the funeral service, we will implement them for you. If you ask yourself: “How much does a funeral cost in Cologne?” , we are happy to advise you and present our pricing models to you in a transparent way. You can find our prices here.

We want your life/farewell party to be a special moment for you. It is important to us that the celebration reflects you and the personality of the deceased person. This means that music and decoration, for example, do not have to comply with any standard, but should suit you. If we accompany your party, we will advise you, plan the process, decorate the room, put up a photo of the deceased person (on request), play the music and give you tips for additions such as a candle ritual. We can also help you with a speech: by arranging a speaker for you or reading out a speech that you have written for you. Together, we will create the celebration that suits you best.
In case of an emergency, we are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our pick-up team is also available 24/7.
Information about the process and what to do in the event of an acute death can be found here.
We will arrange the funeral and the entire process according to your wishes. Whether cremation, burial, tree burial or sea burial — we listen to you and guide you every step of the way. At Memovida, we each offer a complete package for fire and earthquakes. These packages include everything you need, so you won't incur any additional costs.
We offer installment payments of up to 36 months. You can find out more about this here.
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.
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.

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