Was uns wichtig ist

Personalized Support for Funerals in Berlin

Everyone grieves differently, and we respect that at Memovida. We know that funeral decisions don't have to be made immediately.

Our job is to give you the time and support you need so that the decisions are tailored exactly to your needs. You can find more examples of our sensitive support here.

Transparent fixed prices

At Memovida, we attach great importance to simple and fair pricing. Our fixed prices include all regular funeral home services and ensure maximum transparency. Only the costs for the place of burial — such as cemeteries — can vary. We provide you with detailed advice on topics such as the cemetery fee regulations in Berlin so that you know exactly what to expect.

Was uns wichtig ist

Individuelle Begleitung

Jede und jeder hat unterschiedliche Bedürfnisse in der Zeit der Trauer. Wir wollen darauf eingehen und Sie so begleiten, wie es für Sie passt. Was meinen wir damit? Entgegen der allgemeinen Annahme muss nicht alles sofort entschieden werden. Beispielsweise können Sie sich auch noch 1-2 Wochen nach dem Sterbefall entscheiden, auf welchem Friedhof beigesetzt werden soll, ob es eine Baum- oder Seebestattung werden soll oder ob Sie eine Abschiedsfeier wünschen. Das gleiche gilt für viele andere Entscheidungen. Wir begleiten Sie Schritt für Schritt und helfen Ihnen, zum richtigen Zeitpunkt die nötigen Entscheidungen zu treffen. Sie finden weitere Beispiele für unsere individuelle Begleitung hier.

Transparente Festpreise

Uns ist es wichtig, Sie durch eine einfache und faire Preisgestaltung zu entlasten. Daher arbeiten wir mit einfachen Festpreisen, in denen alle regulären Leistungen des Bestattungsunternehmens enthalten sind. Lediglich fallen noch Kosten für den Beisetzungsort an. Diese Kosten unterscheiden sich sehr stark zwischen verschiedenen Friedhöfen und Bestattungsarten (z.B. Seebestattung und Baumbestattung). Hierzu beraten wir Sie gerne. Wenn Sie über unsere Leistungspakete hinaus weitere Wünsche haben, wie z.B. einen Abschied am offenen Sarg oder ein Kerzenritual bei der Trauerfeier, setzen wir diese ebenfalls für Sie um. Sie finden unsere Preise hier.

What our customers say about us

Google Bewertung Memovida

On Friday last week, my mom went her last journey. With Memovida, we found lovely people who were available to us with advice and assistance, a bit unconventional but the best decision we could make. From start to finish, we received great care so that I had time to mourn my mom. Many thanks to Mrs. Haan for the lovely conversations on the phone and to everyone else who did their very best.

Der Service von Memovida war erstklassig: aufmerksam,
sachkundig und reaktionsschnell und berät ausländische Kunden zu
deutschen Gepflogenheiten. Die Mitarbeiter waren schnell erreichbar
und ich habe auf alle meine Fragen eine Antwort bekommen.
Herzlichen Dank insbesondere an Herrn Manuel Kaiser.

Pertti H.

Vielen Dank Frau Haan, ich war nicht in der Lage mich anderweitig um die Beisetzung meines geliebten Mannes zu kümmern. Was da alles auf einen hereinbricht und was man alles bewältigen muss. Plötzlich steht man ganz alleine da aber Dank von Frau Haan habe ich die schwerste Zeit in meinen Leben bewältigt. Die Trauerfeier war sehr emotional und Danke auch für Die Trauerrednerin. Auch mein Wusch nach der Ruhestätte wurde
erfüllt. Man kann ihnen gar nicht genug Danken so einfühlsam wie sie in dieser schweren Zeit für mich waren.
Alles liebe für Sie.
Mit freundlichen Gruß

Ursula Z.

In einer für mich schwierigen Phase war Ihr Unternehmen mit außerordentlichem Engagement,
absoluter Zuverlässigkeit sowie kompetenter Ausführung und exakter Einhaltung aller
getroffenen Zusagen für mich eine unverzichtbare Stütze und Hilfe.
Insbesondere möchte ich Ihnen, liebe Fr. Lübbert, für Ihre Empathie, die einfühlsame
Herzlichkeit, das Verständnis für jedes Detail und für alles was Sie für mich getan und
umgesetzt haben größten Dank und höchste Anerkennung aussprechen.
Sie waren einfach immer da!
Ihr Unternehmen wird mit der gelebten, konsequenten Kundenorientierung großen Erfolg
haben, dem können Sie sich sicher sein.

Your companion in Berlin

Christina Haan

Attendant

I am Christina and I am a companion at Memovida. I was able to gain my entry into the funeral industry and my previous experience in a traditional house in Hamburg. My training as a grief counselor and my (ongoing) continuing education as a death beam have taught me to think beyond the last breath. In my work, it is important to me to take pressure and stress away from families and loved ones. It is important to me to convey that we have time to make decisions and to arrange a coherent and appropriate farewell together. Even after my support has ended, I am still there for families and loved ones.

We are there for you in Berlin

As with our fixed prices, we also want to make advice for your funeral in Berlin as uncomplicated as possible. The choice is yours: a personal consultation with us on site, a house visit in the Berlin area or from the comfort of your own home via telephone or video.

Regardless of the type of funeral, Memovida will provide you with individual support and ensure that you find a dignified and personal solution.
