Forms of funerals
In Germany
various
forms of funerals exist but the most common ones are the earth funeral,
the
fire funeral and the funeral at sea. However, more modern forms of
funerals,
which are already long practised in other European countries, become
more and
more popular. To name just two examples – memorial diamonds and the
forest
funeral.
The legal
background of funerals in Germany
is determined by each of the own Free
State
laws of Germany.
In effect this means that the regulations for funerals are decided on
by each Free
State and thus the
laws vary in content.
