Bestattungsvorsorge
You decide for yourself how your farewell should be, and cover the costs today. Your loved ones will not have to worry about money or organisation in a difficult moment.
What it is
Funeral planning gives you the chance to set out every detail of your farewell in peace and to set aside the funds for it in advance. 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 in peace – 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 as 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 as an insurance policy – and used solely for your farewell.
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.
