About this experience

North German farewell

Nordish by Nature. If someone always greeted others with a hearty "Moin, moin!" and enjoyed dropping by for a "Klönschnack", this may be the best way to say "Tschüss". North Germans are often characterised as stubborn and solitary, with a tough exterior but a soft heart. The stereotype is not usually fair. It may take time, but in the end you gain a lifelong friend who's worth saying goodbye to in a way that suits them. Whether through an exclusive burial-at-sea ceremony or a moving eulogy in Low German, the occasion can be shaped around your wishes. We provide as much Dithmarscher, Flensburger, Aquavit and Korn as the funeral party can drink, along with authentic North German food including Pannfisch, Labskaus and fish rolls. There might be elderberry soup to start and a delicious Friesian cake afterwards: down-to-earth yet still special. From Hamburg and Büsum to Kiel and East Frisia, you and the other bereaved guests can choose from many places to gather. If you would like more than a meal and shared memories, we can also organise activities such as mudflat walks, sailing together, kitesurfing, windsurfing or a game of Boßeln tailored to the person who has died. Their life story can be incorporated playfully in a way that is both entertaining and moving. We are happy to discuss any further wishes and provide personal guidance.

What people say

Translated from the original German

"A farewell meal on a platform, a little closer to the sky and therefore to our Lena. Thank you for making it possible."

Katarina & Jörg Wilke

"Thank you for the many moving moments at our father's funeral service – it was exactly what he would have wanted!"

Sören Johannsen

"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."
