We are here for English-speaking people who are facing the loss of a loved one in Germany. We know how overwhelming it can feel to organize a funeral in a country where you may not speak the language. When you are grieving, everything feels even harder. You have to deal with unfamiliar paperwork, strict burial regulations, and many cultural differences. The German system has many legal and administrative steps that can seem confusing and stressful. You might feel lost, especially when you just want to focus on saying goodbye.
That’s why we are here to help you every step of the way. We speak your language and understand your needs. We listen to your wishes and answer your questions with care. Likewise, we explain every step clearly, so you always know what to expect. Not only that, but we guide you through the paperwork, help you understand the rules, and make sure nothing gets missed. Furthermore, we take the time to talk through your options, so you can make choices that feel right for you and your family.
Take your time. Give yourself the moments you need to say goodbye. Do this with peace and love. Saying farewell to a loved one is very personal. You should not feel pressured to follow a set timeline. Grieving and reflecting are different for everyone. Each person needs their own space.
A well-planned funeral can help with the grieving process. It honors the unique journey of the person who has passed. It also celebrates their legacy. Such a ceremony brings family and friends together in love and remembrance. It creates a peaceful space. Here, grief can be expressed, love can be shared, and healing can begin.
Remember, there is no rush. You have the chance to say goodbye in your own way. This can bring you peace and help you cherish the love and memories you shared.
Whether you prefer a quiet, intimate gathering or a more elaborate ceremony, the most important thing is that the funeral is aligned with what feels right for you and your loved ones. You deserve the time, the space, and the support to mourn in your own way, without feeling rushed or overwhelmed.
Let us help you create a meaningful goodbye filled with love and peace. Together, we can make this difficult time more manageable and heartfelt.
Losing someone while living in a foreign country is hard – even more so when you don’t speak the language. As English speakers in Berlin, we, Helena and Sarah, know how disorienting it feels to face grief in a place that doesn’t yet feel like home. We’ve been there ourselves. That’s why we offer compassionate and clear funeral support in English, helping you through every step. We became funeral directors after losing people we deeply loved – and learning that love can continue to speak, even through the way we say goodbye.
Your comfort and sense of understanding matter most to us. Arranging a funeral that honors your loved one’s life and reflects your values is our priority. Every ceremony we plan is personal, meaningful, and manageable, so you feel supported every step of the way.
You do not have to face this difficult time alone. Together, we create a farewell that brings comfort and peace, even in the midst of grief.
How would the deceased like to be buried?
And what is the best way for the bereaved to grieve? We help you find and organize the right type of funeral – from cremation to the classic earth burial, a tree burial in the cemetery forest, or a burial at sea.
We invite you to shape the farewell together. You may be present when we bring the deceased person into our room of mourning. Perhaps you would also like to help as we wash and dress the deceased once again.
You may add small gifts to the casket, do something together to say goodbye, get everyone together in the house and make something solemn out of the sad occasion. For many people, little rituals like this help them lose their fear. They then feel that the deceased person remains in their heart, even when they are dead. A loving funeral can help to cope with grief.
If your loved one expressed a wish to be buried in their home country, we are here to help make that possible.
We will handle all the arrangements for transporting your loved one abroad, ensuring a smooth and respectful journey. Many countries require that the deceased undergo embalming before repatriation, and we take care of this process right here, ensuring everything is done with care and professionalism.
For funeral repatriation, we coordinate directly with local funeral directors in the destination country. This way, we ensure that all the necessary steps are followed, from transportation to the funeral service and burial. Our team is dedicated to making the process as seamless as possible, providing support every step of the way.
If your loved one has passed outside of Germany, we will help bring them home for a dignified funeral and burial here. We understand that the loss of a loved one can be overwhelming, and we are here to support you in bringing them back to Germany with the utmost respect and care.
Our team speaks German, English, and Italian, and we are more than happy to arrange the funeral service in any of these languages. If you need assistance with another language, we will do our best to find the right support for you, ensuring clear communication and that all your needs are met.
