In the event of death
What needs to be done?
In the event of a death at home, please inform your family doctor or the emergency medical service. After an examination, the doctor will determine the death and issue a medical certificate (Leichenschauschein). Once this has been issued, we are authorised to collect and transport the body and take care of the deceased. We collect the body in our own vehicle and bring the deceased to our premises.
In the event of death at a hospital, a retirement or nursing home, the doctor will be notified from there. You can arrange all steps before and after the collection as well as an appointment for a consultation with us at any time by telephone: 06174 / 1345

Funeral Plans
Your funeral wishes, your way.
There are a number of good reasons to take care of the last things in life yourself in good time. Whether it is because you want to be sure that everything is organised in your best interests or because family, relatives or friends are too far away to be able to help. Often it is also the wish to relieve the burden on relatives.
