Sea Burial from Berlin

Your sea burial in 5 steps

Even though the committal itself takes place far from the capital, our service begins right here with you on site. The structured process takes the whole burden off you:

• 1Collection•We collect the deceased in Berlin (hospital, care home or home).
• 2Formalities•We handle all the visits to the responsible Berlin registry office.
• 3Cremation•This takes place at a Berlin crematorium.
• 4Logistics•We safely transfer the biodegradable sea urn to the partner shipping company on the North or Baltic Sea.
• 5Committal at sea•The handover to the sea follows strict maritime-law requirements in a designated sea area. Afterwards you receive the exact nautical coordinates.

Which sea areas are possible?

The most common areas are the Baltic Sea off Travemünde, the Bay of Mecklenburg, the Kiel Fjord as well as the North Sea off Norddeich, Cuxhaven and Heligoland. The choice affects the travel time and overall costs. We advise you on every area, the applicable weather regulations and seasonal times; many committals take place between March and November.

Safely from every Berlin district to the coast

As your funeral director we are the central hub in Berlin. Whether the bereavement occurs in Mitte, Neukölln, Spandau or any other district, we coordinate everything on site. On request, before the transfer to the coast, we arrange a personal farewell ceremony in a Berlin funeral hall. This way even family members who cannot travel to the coast have the opportunity to say goodbye in familiar surroundings.
