Burial in Hanover - What now?
The loss of a loved one is one of the most difficult moments in life. Many relatives ask themselves:
How does a burial in Hanover work? What do I have to do now?
🌿 My name is Sebastian Lesch. As an experienced funeral director, I will accompany you in Hanover Personal, honest and empathetic - Step by step.
What drives us at the LESCH funeral home is more than a profession: it is our vocation.
Every person we are allowed to accompany is treated by us as if they were part of our own family.
We listen, we comfort, we provide guidance - at a time when everything is shaking.
What is a burial in Hanover?
Burial in the ground is one of the oldest and most traditional forms of burial. The deceased is buried in a coffin in an earth grave - usually in a cemetery in Hanover or the surrounding area.
Many families make a conscious decision in favour of this because they:
- wish for a permanent place of remembrance,
- appreciate the ritual of saying goodbye,
- imagine a dignified setting.
💡 My tip:
Make the farewell as personal as possible - with music, flowers, memories or even a custom-painted coffin cover. Every gesture counts.
📷 Picture idea: Coffin with flowers under old trees
