Saying goodbye to someone you love is a delicate moment. Ritual-Service24 helps you choose the right kind of funeral, in Germany or abroad.
We organise every step in a legally sound, discreet and transparent way — from a traditional burial to an international urn transport.
Burial — the traditional interment in a coffin
Burial is one of the oldest and most dignified funeral traditions in Germany. The deceased is interred in a coffin in a cemetery.
How a burial proceeds:
A burial gives the family a fixed place of remembrance that can be designed individually.
Costs vary with the cemetery, the type of grave and the region.
Cremation — a flexible, modern option
With a cremation, the body is first cremated in a licensed crematorium.
The urn is then interred.
The urn can be interred in a cemetery, at sea, or abroad.
Burial at sea — a farewell on the water
A burial at sea is a particular form of urn interment on the water — in the North Sea or the Baltic, for example.
The ashes are committed to the sea in a water-soluble urn. The family can attend the ceremony if they wish.
It suits people who felt a close bond with the sea.
Anonymous burial — interment without a marked grave
An anonymous burial takes place without any individual marking of the grave.
It is often chosen:
The interment takes place in a communal grave area. Individual grave care is not provided for.
Memorial diamond — remembrance in the form of a gemstone
Part of the cremation ashes is turned into a memorial diamond.
This modern option offers:
A personal way of remembering, for families who do not want a conventional grave.
