FAQ

Chests and urns
Chests and urns can be supplied in different colors and with special motifs which can be photos, drawings or other form of decoration, depending on the individual’s wishes.

Special wishes regarding coffins and urns are gladly fulfilled.
Coffins must, according to Danish law, be immersed in a burial ground in a cemetery.
Chests must not be reduced on private land. The rules for urns are a little more lenient.

Urns are usually reduced in a cemetery or the ashes are strewn across the sea, but there is also the option of reducing an urn on a private land (upon request).
The conservation period (the time that must pass before the burial site can be laid down or used for another coffin / urn) is usually 25 years for coffins and 10 years for urns.

In cemeteries with soil conditions that slow down the decomposition, the parish council can determine other times of preservation.
Thus, it is not uncommon for conservation periods of 30 years for coffins and 15 years for urns.
On application, it is possible to divide the ash so that half of the ash is reduced to e.g. the cemetery while the other half sprinkled the sea.
