Medical confirmation

Medical staff confirm the death and issue the certificate. Relatives are informed as soon as possible.

In most facilities a farewell at the bedside or in a dedicated room is possible. Ask the staff about the options.

The facility needs a funeral director for the collection. We coordinate timing and handover directly with the house.

Personal items are usually handed over at collection in coordination with the facility.

In case of bereavement or urgent questions, you can reach us by phone at any time — including nights, weekends and holidays.
