Funeral Services du Baume au Coeur

My father passed away on the 1st of January 2018. He was english and died in England. Thanks to A natural undertaking, a lovely funeral company in Birmingham, we’ve honored his last wishes : an ecological burial.  That inspired me !
Now I want to offer in France what I’ve received in England : human warmth, lightness and appeasement.

At any moment in life, du Baume au Coeur supports you in your reflection and helps you
anticipate and organize eco-friendly funerals, respectful of Humans and Nature.

  • You can come to meetings to familiarize with the topic of death.
  • We accompagny you preparing the guide of your last wishes for your loved one’s to know what to do when the time comes.
  • We help you organising (éco-friendly) funerals of your loved one’s right before or after

Personalized tribute

Personalized tribute

To help people to say goodbye to a loved one, I propose nice things to personalise the tribute : 
  • a booklet like in England. We can print pictures on it, the course of the ceremony, the lyrics of the songs, anecdotes, quotes… 
  • butterflies in origami,
  • a song written just for the deceased person,
  • flowers in a pot so the family can take one and plant it as a link with the person
⚠️ Mind the delay : in France, the law allows only 6 days* between the death and the funerals! *excluding Sundays and public holidays
