This guide was written and professionally reviewed by the editorial team of Himmelsruhe Bestattungen. Its content is based on our daily funeral counselling and grief support practice, is updated regularly and does not replace individual advice.
Why this guide?
Every day we support bereaved families in Berlin – in English, German, Russian and Italian. In this guide we answer the questions we hear most often, the same way we would in a personal conversation: calmly, concretely and without jargon. If anything remains unclear, simply give us a call – the consultation is free of obligation.
Pre-arrangement is not a sombre step, it is a gift to your own family. You decide today how you wish to be bid farewell. The costs are held in a trust deposit.
We discuss every choice with you personally. On request, we record your wishes in writing.
Frequently asked questions
Is my money invested safely?
Yes, via a trust pre-arrangement contract with a German bank.
Can I still change things later?
Of course. A pre-arrangement is never final.
