Earth Burial Berlin

OverviewProcessCostsFAQContact

The traditional coffin burial, dignified and personal in its design.

The earth burial is the traditional form of burial in Germany. The deceased is buried in a coffin at a cemetery in Berlin or in a community of your choice. We accompany you from selecting the coffin and registering the grave through to the memorial service, with clear fixed prices and no surprises on the invoice.

What is included

  • Collection and hygienic care in Berlin (24/7)
  • Coffin of your choice (from plain wood to high-quality oak)
  • Transfer to a cemetery in Berlin or the surrounding area
  • Memorial service in a chapel or at the graveside
  • Registration of the grave and the burial date
  • Official errands: death certificates, cemetery office, insurers

A note on prices: Our gross flat-rate prices include all the funeral services listed here as well as all third-party costs incurred through our engagement (e.g. crematorium, shipping company, clergy, death certificates, floristry). Only the cemetery fees are shown separately. We record the binding final price in writing in your personal cost estimate.

  • FormalitiesWe handle all the visits to the Berlin registry office and the cemetery office and apply for the necessary death certificates.
  • Memorial servicein a cemetery chapel or directly at the graveside, designed with a pastor or a secular speaker and, on request, multilingual.
  • Buriala coffin burial in a row grave, a selected grave or a family grave at the cemetery of your choice.

Which types of grave are available in Berlin?

Berlin's cemeteries offer row graves, selected graves and family graves. Row graves are allocated in sequence and have a fixed resting period; selected graves you can choose yourself and extend for a fee. Family graves can be maintained across several generations. We know the allocation rules of the Berlin district cemeteries as well as the denominational cemeteries and check the relevant cemetery regulations before every burial.

Personally accompanied from every Berlin district

No matter which Berlin district the bereavement occurs in, we come to you and coordinate everything on site. Whether in Mitte, Charlottenburg or Reinickendorf, the process remains just as straightforward for you. Still deciding between forms of burial? We are happy to advise you openly on cremation urn burials and religious funerals too, both of which are equally possible in Berlin.

Frequently asked questions about Earth Burial Berlin

How long is the resting period at a Berlin cemetery?

In Berlin the resting period for earth graves is 20 years at the majority of cemeteries. Selected graves can afterwards be extended for a fee. We check the relevant cemetery regulations before every burial.

Can you also bury people outside Berlin?

Yes. We carry out earth burials in Brandenburg and, on request, also transfer the deceased throughout Germany or internationally.

What about an existing family grave?

An existing family grave can usually continue to be used, provided the resting period has not yet expired. We clarify the entry with the cemetery office and handle the re-allocation.

Can we hold the memorial service in several languages?

Yes. We arrange memorial speakers and pastors in German, Russian, English and Italian. Many families in Berlin wish for a bilingual service; we organise this at no extra charge.
