In this short video, we give you an insight into how we support you in the event of bereavement — sensitively, transparently and reliably. Get to know our philosophy and find out how we make funerals easier and more personal.
Everyone grieves differently and has individual needs during this difficult time. We would like to guide you in the way that is right for you. This means that not all decisions have to be made immediately. For example, one to two weeks after the death, you can still consider in which cemetery in Cologne the burial should take place or whether you would like to plan an urn burial. It is also possible to discuss in peace whether a farewell party is desired or which details the ceremony should include. We will guide you step by step, help you make the right decisions and will always be by your side with our funeral advice. You can find more information about our individual support here.
We know that transparency and fair pricing are important to relieve you during this difficult time. That is why we offer simple fixed prices that include all regular services provided by the funeral home in Cologne. In addition, there are only costs for the place of burial in cemeteries in Cologne, which vary depending on the type of burial — such as sea burial or tree burial. If you have any special wishes, such as a farewell at an open coffin or a candle ritual at the funeral service, we will implement them for you. If you ask yourself: “How much does a funeral cost in Cologne?” , we are happy to advise you and present our pricing models to you in a transparent way. You can find our prices here.
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.
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.
In case of an emergency, we are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our pick-up team is also available 24/7.

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.
