FriedWald or Ruheforst, what is the difference?

FriedWald and Ruheforst are the two large providers in Germany. In substance both are the same: a designated burial forest with specially marked trees. Both are represented at designated locations around Berlin. We arrange appointments, clarify the contract details and accompany you to choose the tree. You can reserve an individual spot at a communal tree or acquire a whole tree as a family tree at which several family members are committed.

From Berlin into the forest: plannable from every district

No matter which Berlin district you come from, the route to the forest burial is the same. We coordinate everything from Köpenick, Zehlendorf, Reinickendorf or your district and handle the journey to the burial forest. Undecided? We are happy to tell you about urn burial and the ash-scattering meadow too, both are nature-connected alternatives to the classic cemetery committal.
