FriedWald GmbH

FriedWald GmbH is a privately owned and healthily growing company that has been operating as a pioneer and leading provider of natural burial in Germany since 2001.

FriedWald offers an innovative and nature-oriented alternative to traditional cemeteries. The company specializes in tree burials, where the ashes of the deceased are interred in biodegradable urns under trees in designated burial forests. These burials take place at over 88 locations in Germany, from the island of Rügen to Lake Constance and from Saxony to North Rhine-Westphalia[3][5].

The services include the organization and execution of the burial, the selection and care of the trees, as well as the support and advice for the bereaved in planning the memorial service and burial. FriedWald allows for the selection of the tree during one's lifetime and the conclusion of pre-arrangement contracts[1].

FriedWald's mission is to offer a dignified and ecologically sustainable burial alternative that meets the needs of nature-connected and individually thinking people. The company relies on a uniform and ecologically recognized natural burial concept that is implemented in all forests according to the same quality standards[3].

The values of FriedWald are based on respect, sustainability, and competence. The company places great importance on the sensitive and responsible handling of burials and the care of forest areas.

A central goal of FriedWald is the sustainable use and care of forest areas. Through partnerships with forest owners and municipalities, the company secures the areas as FriedWald for 99 years and promotes nature conservation. This leads to long-term predictable income for forest owners, regardless of wood prices, and takes on labor-intensive tasks and ongoing fixed costs[2].

FriedWald also contributes to the creation of new jobs and promotes the innovative image of the municipalities where the burial forests are located. Through biodegradable urns and integration into the natural cycle of the forest, the company makes a contribution to environmental protection and the preservation of natural ecosystems[2][3].

FriedWald offers a modern, respectful, and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional burial. With its dedicated team and comprehensive services, the company stands for a dignified and sustainable burial culture. Through its initiatives and partnerships, FriedWald contributes to the preservation of nature and the creation of jobs, making it a model company in the burial industry.
