Bestattungsvorsorge
You decide how your farewell should be arranged and plan for the costs in advance. Your loved ones will not have to worry about money or organisation in a difficult moment.
What it is
Funeral planning gives you the opportunity to decide on the details of your farewell in advance and set aside the necessary funds. In this way you lift the financial and organisational burden from your loved ones and leave them memories instead of worries.
Why plan ahead
You decide the form, the traditions and the details of the farewell – everything just as you wish it to be.
In a difficult moment they need not make hard decisions or find the money.
The costs are set at the time of the contract and are not affected by future price increases.
The money is held separately in a protected account and used solely for its intended purpose.
How it works
We meet and discuss your wishes at your own pace – in your language.
We record every detail of the farewell, just as you wish it, and set it down in a contract.
The funds are placed in a protected Treuhandkonto or secured through an insurance policy.
You receive a document. When the time comes, we carry everything out exactly as agreed.
Security of the funds
The funds from your funeral planning do not stay with the funeral home. They are placed in a separate Treuhandkonto or secured through an insurance policy – and used solely for your funeral arrangements.
Under German law, funds set aside for a funeral in a reasonable amount count as Schonvermögen and are not taken into account by the Sozialamt. We explain this in detail during the consultation.
What you decide
You decide as much as you wish – from the form of the farewell to the smallest details. The rest we suggest and take care of.
