1. Issuance of the death certificate
After the death has occurred, after the certain signs of death (corpse stains and rigor mortis) have been identified, the death certificate is filled out by the doctor at the first morgue. The death certificate, also known as a death certificate or morgue certificate, records the exact time of death (day and time), the type of death (natural/not natural) and the exact cause of death.
2. Appointment of funeral home
After the doctor has issued the death certificate, a funeral home can be commissioned to organise the funeral. To do so, you are welcome to contact us by telephone at any time of the day or night, any day of the week.
3. Transfer and supply
After we have been commissioned for the funeral, we organise the transfer of the deceased person from the place of death (e.g. from home, from a nursing home or hospital). After collection, the deceased person is hygienically cared for, clothed and placed in a coffin. We also take care of any further transfer afterwards, e.g. to the crematorium or the cemetery.n Coffin bed. We also take care of any further transfer afterwards, e.g. to the crematorium or the cemetery.
4. Notification of death and application for death certificates
We report the death to the registry office and apply for two death certificates for you. For this, we need the following documents from the deceased person: identity card/registration register, birth certificate (if single), marriage certificate (if married), death certificate from the partner (if deceased), divorce decree (if divorced). If documents are missing, we can also organize them.
5. Selecting the type of burial
If not already done at the beginning, select the desired type of burial: e.g. fire or earth burial in a cemetery, tree burial in a rest forest or cemetery forest, or a sea burial in the North or Baltic Sea.
6. Organization of funeral with or without a celebration of life and farewell
We help you organise the funeral and arrange the date with the place of burial. If a life & farewell party is still required, we coordinate the planning, from decoration to musical accompaniment.
7. Cancellations & retirement
After the death certificates have been issued, all cancellations can be made with them. In most cases, copies of the document are sufficient. If you are entitled to a widow's or widower's pension, we will apply for the 3-month transitional pension (quarter of death) for you.
