Funeral provision
Nobody likes to think about their own death. We live too much here and now. The feeling of the finite nature of life is too stressful. And yet: anyone who is in the middle of life, who takes fate into their own hands, will sooner or later deal with the “AFTER”.
Making provisions has nothing to do with resignation, but with foresight and care. It is an act of love beyond one’s own life.
Talk to a member of the Swiss Association of Funeral Services. One phone call is all it takes to make an appointment. They will take the time to consider what wishes and needs should be fulfilled. You will be advised on all questions so that you can make a confident decision. You can make changes at any time.
