Kobel Bestattungsdienst

Since 1978, we have been a family business that is there for the deceased and their relatives in every situation, day or night.

It is important to us to organize the farewell, in familiarity with the people and customs of the Aaretal region, together with the bereaved family in such a way that it is a "good" experience for everyone in this situation, which is not always easy.

We would be happy to support you in a personal consultation on the following topics:

- Transfer of the deceased

- Information about the different types of graves

- Choice of coffin and urn

- Completion of deregistration/formalities

- Dressing, placing in the coffin, laying out

- Organization of the funeral service

- Floral decorations/candles

- Printing of obituaries and acknowledgments

- Forwarding newspaper advertisements

Initial arrangements in the event of death:

In the event of death in a hospital/retirement or nursing home, the doctor on duty will confirm the death and sign the medical death certificate. The family is free to choose their funeral director, who will be informed of the death and its further proceedings by the relatives.

In the event of death at home, a doctor must first certify the death and authenticate it with their signature before the chosen funeral director may transfer the deceased.

In the event of an unclear death (suicide, accident, or in case of doubt about the cause of death), the police must always be called first, who will then initiate the next steps.

The death must be registered at the registry office within 48 hours of the death with the appropriate medical death certificates. The relatives can do this themselves or hand everything over to the funeral home.

Important documents that should be within easy reach or whose location should be known (safe, desk, bedside table drawer, folder, etc.)

- Residence permit

- Family register (only available for married persons)

- Will (if available)

- Last will and testament (if available)

- Marriage or inheritance contract (if available)
