Bestattung Kleinhappel

About Bestattung Kleinhappel

Bestattung Kleinhappel at Hainfelderstraße 12 in Berndorf organises funerals, memorial services and transfers and can be reached around the clock in the event of a death, including on Sundays and public holidays. It operates jointly with Bestattung Killian in Leobersdorf; the team is headed by Walter Cais and Ralph Cais-Prendinger.

What the funeral service takes care of

• Collection and transfer: from the place of death to the destination, both within Austria and abroad.
• Dealing with the authorities: death documents at the registry office, deregistration of main and secondary residence, notification of the pension office and settlement with insurers.
• Memorial service: arranging the date with the church, funeral speaker and cemetery administration, music, laying out, coffin or urn.
• Printed matter and flowers: death notices (Parten), memorial cards, invitations to the funeral meal, thank-you cards and funeral floristry.
• Stonemason: on request, the funeral service also arranges the stonemason.

Types of burial

The options are burial in a coffin and cremation followed by interment of the urn, for example in a family grave or urn grave. There is also tree burial: the ashes are laid to rest in a biodegradable urn in the root area of a tree. Funeral planning during one's lifetime is also possible. In Austria you are free to choose your funeral director, so the funeral service works in every municipality.

What you can prepare

The website lists documents needed in the event of a death: birth certificate or baptismal certificate, marriage certificate, registration form (Meldezettel), proof of citizenship, if applicable divorce decree or death certificate of the spouse, insurance policies, proof of the grave plot, a photo for the death notice and clothing for the deceased.
