About Städtische Bestattung Baden

Städtische Bestattung Baden is the funeral service of the municipality of Baden, and its office is at Neustiftgasse 6. It organises funerals, memorial services and transfers of the deceased and can be reached around the clock via an on-call service. It is headed by the state-certified funeral director Elisabeth Weiss-Kabourek.

What the funeral service takes care of

• Advice and quotation: a conversation about traditional and newer forms of burial, plus a free, non-binding quotation.
• First steps: arranging the post-mortem examination, collection from the place of death, registration at the registry office.
• Care: basic hygienic care, dressing, laying in the coffin, and on request also thanatopraxy (embalming).
• Funeral service: death notices and memorial cards, funeral music, organisation of the service and burial.
• Transfer: within Austria and abroad, including documents and certifications.
• Insurance: direct billing, for example with Wiener Verein, Uniqa, Ergo or S-Versicherung.

Types of burial and saying goodbye

Burial in the ground, in a vault and cremation are offered, as well as natural burial. There are natural burial areas at the Stadtpfarrfriedhof Baden-St. Stephan and the St. Helena cemetery, and the funeral service organises water burials in the Danube or at sea with partners. A farewell at the open coffin is possible in the municipal funeral hall. For stillborn children (Sternenkinder) there has been a dedicated children's grave at the Stadtpfarrfriedhof since 2004, and opposite it a memorial has stood since 2023, set up together with the Hospiz Bewegung Baden.
