Verein für Naturbestattung und Friedwald Mammern

The Mammern Association for Natural Burials and Forest Cemetery represents the concept of the Forest Cemetery. This is a natural and evocative burial option as an alternative to traditional cemeteries. The ashes of the deceased are placed at the base of a tree or shrub. This tree thus becomes a symbol of the continuation of life and a personal memorial. The association offers the opportunity to acquire the right to use such a tree. This right is valid for up to ten burials, and the ashes of pets may also be interred. Grave maintenance is left entirely to nature. Funeral services can be freely designed, and contact information for ritual facilitators is provided. The right to use a tree is registered in the land register for a protected period. The target group consists of people who desire a natural burial. They often also wish to spare their descendants the burden of grave maintenance. The service is available to individuals, couples, and families.
