Tree Burial Munich

Tree Burial offers a peaceful and natural alternative to traditional forms of burial. Many people find comfort and strength in nature, and a resting place under a tree symbolizes the eternal cycle of life and nature. In Cemetery Forests or Rest Forests, the Ashes of the Deceased are buried in urns made of biodegradable material in specially designated forest areas, where the trees serve as living monuments. A small plaque on the tree commemorates the deceased person.

Tranquil Forests and Cemetery Forests offer Relatives a Space in Which They Can Commemorate Traditional Cemeteries Free of Rigid Forms. Instead of tombstones, the trees and nature itself remind us of the lives of the deceased.

How does a tree burial work?

When burial a tree is carried out, a suitable tree is first selected. On the day of the funeral, the mourning community meets at the appropriate resting place, where the urn is carefully placed in the ground. On request, relatives can arrange a small ceremony. Many opt for natural decoration, without artificial elements, in order to preserve the harmony of the forest.

Afterwards, it is possible to visit the square without a tombstone or fixed frame, but with a small plaque on the tree that commemorates the deceased person.
