However, these are not suitable for natural burials, for example. But in our MEMORIAL-Shop you will find your desired natural urn, if you have decided for a burial outside a cemetery.

In most crematoria, it is not possible to be present during the entire cremation for safety reasons. However, there are some crematoria that offer the alternative of accompanying the deceased person during the coffin ride, the so-called "last walk". We will be happy to enquire about this possibility with the crematorium involved.

In a cremation, the deceased person is embedded with the coffin of your choice and cremated (burned) in a crematory. Foreign parts such as artificial hips, orthopedic implants, etc. are removed from the cremated ashes. The ashes are then finely ground in an ash mill and handed over to the funeral director.

Foreign parts such as artificial hips, orthopedic implants, etc. are removed from the cremated ashes. The ashes are then finely ground in an ash mill and handed over to the funeral director.
After cremation, the bones are ground in an ash mill. What remains is the lime substance of the bones, the bone ash. The volume of the ashes is about 3 to 4 kg. This is filled into an ash capsule and sealed tightly. Now the cremation urn is ready for collection and the burial can take place.

The actual cremation takes an average of one and a half hours. Afterwards, the ashes must cool down, be freed from foreign bodies (e.g. artificial joints) -, finely ground in the ash mill - and finally filled into a cremation urn.
The deceased person may be dressed in private clothing. However, the material should be preferably cotton and well combustible. As an alternative, we can offer death chemises or gowns, suitable for cremation.

If no one orders the burial of a deceased person, the municipality must order the burial.

Therefore, we always advise to Contact promptly to avoid further costs.

In principle, you may give the deceased person small, personal mementos on the last journey. These can be photos, letters, flowers, jewelry or even items of clothing.

There is no obligation to organize a funeral service. There are people who wish to leave this earthly life simply and without fuss, and this must be respected. Therefore, it makes sense to clearly regulate the desired course of events in a pension contract, so that the last journey is not left to chance, or imposed on the survivor as a burden.

An anonymous burial takes place without the presence of family, relatives or friends. However, the burial does not necessarily have to take place without a funeral service. Thus, the funeral director can autonomously carry out the last journey according to the last wishes of the deceased person.

A distinction is made between interment and cremation. In the case of an interment, the coffin is buried in a cemetery. It is different in the case of cremation. The ashes of the deceased can be buried in very different ways. Especially natural burials are much sought-after forms of burial. Our partner, Schweizer Naturbestattung is a recommended provider for alternative burials outside the cemetery walls.

We must first distinguish between cemetery and natural burial. In the cemetery, a burial in the common grave (crypt), only the ashes are buried. In the case of a burial in a lawn field (individual or communal grave), the urn is also interred. In the case of urn niche, the urn is also placed in the niche. In the case of a natural burial, in the open air, it is possible to choose whether the ashes are to be placed directly in nature, or whether the burial is to take place by means of a biodegradable urn, as used above all in forest and sea burials.

The most important factor that differs in Spain is the speed of the process. In most regions, the body must be buried or cremated within 24 to 48 hours after death. This situation puts immediate time pressure on the family and relatives to take care of the arrangements for the burial or cremation very quickly.

Cremation would be rejected in Christianity for centuries. At that time, the belief in the bodily resurrection of the dead still prevailed. Only with industrialization and this more favorable form of burial did cremation enter the general public. Nowadays, self-determination and individualism are emphasized and citizens can influence the form of their last journey themselves.
