In Oldenburg, Bremen and the surrounding area
The personal farewell to the deceased is at the centre of every grieving process.
The open lying in state can be a great help in mourning, as it makes a significant contribution to the bereaved coming to terms with their grief. It enables relatives to say goodbye to their loved one in a deeper, more emotional way and to come to terms with the loss.
The many psychological aspects that come into play can be of great value to each individual. For some, there is comfort in the opportunity to see the deceased once again in a peaceful and respectful environment. It provides space to preserve memories and give form to grief. The open laying out can help to maintain a feeling of closeness to the deceased and at the same time accept the transition.
As a thanatologist and embalmer, I have sworn an oath to give every deceased person the respect and dignity they deserve both in life and in death. Thanatology, the science of death and the processes associated with it, involves much more than just caring for the bodies of the deceased. It is an important part of my profession and accompanies me in my work to make the transition as respectful and sensitive as possible for the bereaved.
An important part of my work is embalming, which makes it possible to preserve the deceased in a natural state for a longer period of time. This technique can not only be important for open lying in state, but can also give relatives the opportunity to say goodbye to their loved ones in peace and without time pressure. Embalming is particularly important in cases of prolonged mourning processes or international repatriations, as it preserves the deceased for the farewell.
I always endeavour to achieve an appropriate result for the client within the framework of modern deceased care. In doing so, I take into account not only the practical aspects, but also the individual wishes and needs of the family. In such a sensitive phase, it is of the utmost importance for me to act sensitively and respectfully.
The most important thing for me is that every deceased person is cared for and coffined with dignity and that the relatives can decide at any time to see their deceased loved one once again. I am responsible for the Oldenburg, Bremen and surrounding areas and offer my services with a high degree of professionalism and empathy. It's about shaping the moment of farewell so that loved ones can process the loss at their own pace and remember the fond memories they have associated with their deceased.
