Home funeral

With a home funeral, the deceased is laid out at home, in a familiar and intimate environment. This offers family and friends the opportunity to say goodbye in peace and privacy.

We make sure that everything is arranged down to the last detail. We guide you step by step, so that you can fully focus on saying goodbye.

Home burial adds an extra dimension to the farewell, because it takes place in a place that means a lot to the deceased and the relatives. It offers space for personal rituals and moments of reflection.

In the case of a home funeral, we opt for thanatopraxy. This means that the body does not need to be cooled, which means that there are no disturbing noises from cooling equipment or discomfort from ice or extremely cold materials.

Naturally, as a family you have the choice to agree to thanatopraxy for home burial, or to opt for the placement of a cooling plate.

A cooling plate is placed under the body of the deceased and ensures that the core of the body is quickly cooled and preserved. This slows down the decomposition process, but cannot prevent superficial discoloration. In addition, there will be an unpleasant noise due to the cooling, which can disturb the serene environment.

Thanatopraxy , also known as light embalming, is a method of temporarily preserving the body without cooling. It slows down the decomposition process and ensures that the body remains presentable and odorless from the moment of death until the funeral. This offers relatives the opportunity to say goodbye carefree and lovingly.
