Types of Burials

A burial in the ground is a traditional form of burial. The deceased is buried in a coffin in a grave in a cemetery. The burial can take place with or without a funeral service.

During cremation, the deceased is placed in a coffin in the crematorium. A funeral service can also be held with the coffin before the cremation or later with the urn. There are different types of graves depending on the cemetery: classic urn graves with plants or slabs, urn walls, low-maintenance tree or meadow graves, anonymous urn graves.

Become one with nature. The FriedWald offers this alternative to the cemetery - burial directly in nature.  The ashes of the deceased are buried in a biodegradable urn in the roots of a tree. Some towns and municipalities also offer burials in their own burial forests.

In a burial at sea, the ashes of the deceased are buried in a special sea urn in the North Sea, Baltic Sea or one of the world's oceans. If desired, relatives can attend the funeral on the ship.
