After a death, the family or a trusted person can always contact us.
Those first moments are often intense. Feel free to take your time to be with your loved one. In the case of a death at home, you first contact a general practitioner. In the hospital or nursing home, this is usually done for you. The doctor confirms the death and prepares a (digital) death certificate.
After that, you can call us, day and night. We are here for you and guide you step by step towards the funeral.
If your loved one has passed away at home, we will schedule a time for the transfer to our funeral center. There we take care of the final preparations and possibly the laying out. You can provide clothing, and we also ask for the identity card so that we can arrange the administration.
Do you wish to keep your loved one at home for a while longer? That is also possible — we will assist you with that.
We will make an appointment together to discuss the farewell, either at our place or at your home. We listen to your wishes and go over the possibilities. Together we determine the timing of the funeral, the mourning stationery, and the choices regarding the coffin, urn, and flowers. You indicate what is important to you — we take care of the practical implementation and guidance.
You can come to say goodbye to your loved one in our funeral centers in Overijse and Bertem, in complete peace and at your own pace. Some families also choose a public farewell moment, usually the evening before the funeral.
On the day of the funeral, we are fully at your service, wherever it takes place. We take care of the practical concerns so that you can focus on the farewell. You can always come to us with questions.
