Frequently asked questions

Here you will find answers to questions families often ask us. We are always happy to answer your personal question by phone.

First steps

What should I do first when a death occurs?

If the death occurred at home, call the family doctor or the medical on-call service (116 117), who will issue the death certificate. In a hospital or care home, the facility arranges this. Then call us as soon as possible and we will take care of everything else.

When can I reach you?

We are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, by phone, via WhatsApp and in person. We are also there for you after the funeral.

Do I need to make an appointment?

No. You can discuss all details with us by phone without an appointment.

Islamic funeral

How does an Islamic funeral proceed?

After the deceased has been received, the ritual washing (ghusl), shrouding in burial cloths (kafan), the funeral prayer (salat al-janazah) and the burial facing the Kaaba follow. We arrange every step and coordinate with the mosque and the imam.

Is a burial according to Islamic rites possible in Germany?

Yes. Many cemeteries in Germany have Muslim burial grounds. We will clarify with you which options exist at the desired location.

Do you also serve other faiths?

Yes, we are there for families of all faiths.
