International burial and repatriation
Being buried in own country (back to the roots). We prepare and organize international funeral transport and legal guidance (permits, deferrals, foreign documents, licenses, laisser-passer , etc.).
Would you like to have your own funeral already arranged?
That could be a final resting place in a nature reserve with perpetual grave rest where no maintenance is required, or a family grave, the funeral ceremony, the location, guests, etc. That could be personal letters to your loved ones or children, or even your own messenger at your funeral (audio, video or soon hologram). Almost anything is possible.
That is possible. Together we record your wishes, give full information about the possibilities and make arrangements. So that you have the right building blocks to arrange everything when the time comes. And thus relieve your family and next of kin of the burden.
Private Funeral Shopper
A casket or just no casket - there are several options - what is the outfit your deceased goes to their last public occasion with? With that, a statement is made and farewells are said to friends and family. This is also how everyone colors their funeral and shows their personalness. The farewell ceremony is like a blueprint of the person himself, his passion, feelings, talents, habits and also the shadow sides. The Netherlands is an open-minded country, especially in terms of funeral options.
Most funeral service providers have their own catalogues of different products they stock. Often these are standard options, but imagine if standard doesn't quite suit you? Or if you want to get something unique/personal for the same cost? Or your budget is limited or you don't want to spend more than you actually need to? Then you can go shopping for yourself. The topic of "enveloping" the deceased is actually just as important or even more important than the contemporary clothing a person wears.
The law allows a lot.
And just like in the world of fashion, you often can't figure it out on your own, without professional guidance from a person who maps out your wishes with you. Someone who is an expert by experience and also good at negotiating (monitoring your wishes and your budget). Your guide around death, who is also your sounding board and who personally guides you, advises and walks with you through the labyrinths of the gigantic "funeral store." Knowing how you feel, that there is a schedule to be met, and giving confidence that everything will work out.
This is quite special, because this is not possible in so many countries. We have an incredible choice of materials, colors, shapes, sizes, prices...And we have also noticed that every Dutch manufacturer we know and collaborate accentuates this idea that everything is possible. It's nice to know, especially if you want everything in your own taste and style.
In the world of funeral supplies, where we normally don't go so easily, there are its own trends, new collections and there is even an outlet.
