Saying goodbye

Saying goodbye to a loved one requires attention and time. But at the same time, many practical questions need to be clarified: Who do I need to inform? What form of funeral is appropriate? How do I organize the funeral service?

An open ear that you can turn to in confidence is particularly valuable in exceptional situations. Ahorn Bestattungen accompanies and supports you in all matters relating to your final journey. A dignified setting is just as important to us as the principle of meeting all your wishes and needs.

This leaves you time for the really important things.

Types of funeral

Today, there are many ways to say goodbye. Ahorn Bestattungen has set itself the goal of being open to all wishes and providing a dignified setting for every chosen form. The offer includes: 

 - Burial in the ground 

 - Cremation 

 - Sea and river burial 

 - Air burial 

 - Forest burial 

 - Diamond burial 

A specialty of Ahorn Bestattungen is the scattering of the ashes of the deceased from a small aircraft. Managing Director Cyrill Thoma pilots the plane himself. This allows him to respond optimally to your needs and wishes and guarantee a reverent ceremony.

A new form of farewell is the diamond funeral. A rough diamond is created from the carbon contained in the cremation ash in a complex process. After cutting, it becomes a special and very personal memento. Ahorn Bestattungen offers the service in collaboration with Algordanza.

Flower arrangements and music

Flowers not only add a splash of color to the funeral service. They also send a message that life goes on despite grief. Ahorn Funerals knows the funeral rooms in the region and can advise you on the choice of suitable room decorations as well as urn or coffin decorations. If required, the institute can also organize background music for the funeral service.

Farewell

Individual requests and cultural diversity lead to different requirements for funeral services. Whether priest, hodja, imam or freelance speaker: Ahorn Funerals will help you find the right funeral speaker and the appropriate location.

Coffins and urns

A variety of coffin and urn models are available. The following examples of frequently requested designs can help you find something suitable. If you can't find the right one straight away, Ahorn Bestattungen will be happy to help you in a personal consultation.  

Provision for death

Preparing for your own death is not common in this country. Ahorn Bestattungen recommends that you do it anyway. If you put your wishes clearly on paper, you will ease the burden on your loved ones. And if you pre-finance your funeral arrangements, you ensure that your wishes are put into practice. And you don't take any risks: You can close your end-of-life care account at any time without any loss. The downloadable template helps you to think of everything.
