Berlin is unlike any other city. It is the capital, a metropolis, and at the same time its own federal state — with its own laws, its own administration, and residents who value directness and reliability. When a death occurs in Berlin, there is no place for euphemisms — clear communication, swift action, and absolute discretion are what matter.

Calla Bestattungen accompanies families in Berlin with funeral arrangements — objectively, discreetly, and with full knowledge of the Berlin Burial Act and the city’s administrative procedures.

Funerals in Berlin: What to Know

As a city-state, Berlin has its own Burial Act — differing significantly from other federal states. Berlin has more than 200 cemeteries, including the Zentralfriedhof Friedrichsfelde, the Waldfriedhof Zehlendorf, and numerous denominational and intercultural burial grounds.

We coordinate all processes directly with the responsible district offices, registry offices, and cemetery administrations — reliably and without delay.
