Funeral Types
Infants who die during pregnancy or at birth are known as "angel babies". We will assist if you wish to hold a funeral ceremony in Munich for an angel baby, and we will keep the expenses of such a ceremony to a minimum.
Cremation, or incineration, is an alternative to burial. In this case, the body is placed in a wooden casket and burned.
When a death occurs, Bestattung Himmelblau are there to help, regardless of your income level. In principle, you are actually legally required to cover funeral expenses for your immediate family.
Urn at home
Many people find it easier to process their grief if they are able to remain close to the deceased, even after their death. In this case, you have the option of avoiding a funeral at the cemetery and keeping the urn at your home.
