"It is difficult to find a funeral director willing to care for a four-legged companion who has died. From the first contact and the cremation through to the keepsake: thank you."

About this experience
A burial in a mountain stream
A farewell carried by the flow of nature. A mountain stream burial returns the ashes to nature and reflects the idea that life continues to move onwards. After cremation, the ashes are released into a clear, flowing mountain stream in Switzerland during a dignified ceremony. The water then carries them onwards through rivers and towards the sea. It is a quiet, moving farewell within the natural cycle. Switzerland's more liberal funeral regulations allow the ceremony to be arranged in a highly personal and nature-centred way. Family members can attend, or the burial can take place anonymously if preferred. An accompanying online ceremony is available for family and friends who cannot be there in person, allowing them to share the moment. If you wish, an experienced master of ceremonies can lead the burial and shape a thoughtful, personal farewell. All necessary funeral services, as well as the organisation and completion of the cremation, are arranged and fully coordinated in Germany beforehand. This form of burial is intended for people with a deep connection to water, movement and nature: a farewell that does not hold on, but carries someone onwards.
