Transfers from and to Berlin

OverviewProcessCostsFAQContact

Within Berlin, throughout Germany and internationally, with a dedicated contact person.

A transfer is always necessary when the place of death and the place of burial are in different locations. We organise transfers within Berlin (e.g. from the hospital to a funeral hall), throughout Germany and internationally. We speak Russian, English and Italian, which greatly simplifies international communication.

Your transfer within Berlin and Brandenburg

Within the region we collect the deceased directly at the place of death, from the hospital, care home, hospice or from home, and bring them to our funeral hall or directly to the crematorium. We are available for this 24 hours a day. Within the region a transfer is usually possible on the same day.

International transfers

For transfers abroad we coordinate consular clearances, death certificates with apostille, translated documents and the actual transport. A zinc-lined coffin is often used because it is mandatory on international flights. We work with reliable partner funeral directors in the destination country, so that the family has a contact person on site. Frequently requested destinations are Russia, Italy, Poland and Ukraine.

From every Berlin district, worldwide

We are on site 24 hours a day in all Berlin districts and collect the deceased, whether in Spandau, Mitte or Köpenick. A transfer is often combined with a burial in Berlin, and we coordinate the entire process from a single source.

Frequently asked questions about Transfers from and to Berlin

How long does a transfer abroad take?

Usually between four and fourteen days, depending on the destination country, the consular situation and the availability of flights. Once we have recorded all the details we give you a realistic timeframe.

Can we transfer the deceased first and then bury them here?

Yes. Many families transfer a relative from abroad to Berlin and bury them here. We coordinate with the foreign funeral director and take care of everything else from Berlin airport onwards.

Do we need an interpreter?

Usually not. We advise in German, Russian, English and Italian. For other languages we organise an interpreter free of charge.
