If you have any questions or individual requests, we are happy to assist you.
Donations in the Event of Bereavement
The death of a loved one is a painful loss for those left behind. Especially in such situations, relatives often feel the need to set a positive, forward-looking sign. Many ask for donations in memory of the deceased instead of wreaths and flowers. This gesture often also fulfills a final wish of the deceased.
If you would like to ask for donations to Urgewald, it is best to mention this already in the obituary. Please include the bank details below and a keyword related to the occasion, such as “In memory of [name of the deceased].” Please inform us by phone or email of the name of the deceased, the selected keyword, and your contact details.
