Additional Services
In addition to the core services provided by a funeral home, we offer a range of further services and support to help you through the grieving process.
Viewings
In our own farewell room at Neuhardstrasse 28 in Olten, we offer you the opportunity to say goodbye to a loved one once more in peace. We are always close by and will be happy to sit with you if you wish.
Grief workshop
In our small workshop, you have the opportunity to design and create personalised cards. This creative outlet can be a valuable aid in coping with grief and can have a supportive effect on the healing process. Bring along personal photos, favourite quotes or items that were important to the deceased, or include a personal message to accompany them on their final journey, placed directly in the coffin or urn.
Processing Memories
We digitise your video and photo collections so that you can send them to bereaved family and friends as a farewell and a memento, display or screen them as a photo canvas or film, or present them as a retrospective of the deceased’s life at the funeral service, or give them as a photo album. We are happy to help you find the right words at times when everything feels upside down, whether you need assistance drafting obituaries or putting your thoughts into words for a life story.
