Family members may request that the funeral home provide a written estimate of expenses before transferring the payment. The fastest and least expensive way to pay funeral fees is usually to wire the funds directly to the German funeral home via Western Union or to complete an international bank transfer. We cannot accept any responsibility for the services provided or for the fees or prices charged. When we hear of the death of a U.S. citizen, we will endeavor to reach the deceased’s next-of-kin as quickly as possible.

This can be done well in advance of anticipated death or in the final weeks of life. Pre-planning provides the opportunity to assist family by clearly communicating preferences in music, Scripture readings, participation in the service, burial and reception.

Welcome to Living Waters Funeral Home
I found out later that Paula and her husband started the funeral home because they had faced so much loss in their own family. Paula and her entire team care about you, they care about your family, and they want to help you honor your loved one in the best way that they can. I’m so grateful to Paula and her team as they helped us create a beautiful service for my dad.
We make it a priority to provide the next-of-kin with all available details surrounding their loved one’s death. Please understand that when a death occurs over a weekend, most German offices, including certain police authorities, are closed. Therefore, in some cases, it might take until the next business day for us to provide the next-of-kin with additional information. In some cases, the German authorities require an autopsy to be preformed in order to complete the documentation of the death.
This website is a directory of locations where certain public records MAY be able to be obtained. We do not guarantee that all offices that are listed on this website will offer specific records to the public. Pre-planning lets your loved ones focus on honoring life instead of hashing out details. Learn the choices you can make now, so a future funeral becomes more of a celebration than a burden. In order to assist you with legal matters that may arise as a result of the death, we will forward to the next-of-kin or legal representative the Consular Report of Death of a U.S.
This document is in English and is normally based upon the German death certificate. It can generally be used in U.S. courts to help settle estate matters. German probate courts are responsible for overseeing the disposition of any estate and/or personal effects of deceased U.S. citizens. Communication is a vital aspect of daily life, but it can also be difficult.
This is generally required if you will be needing any assistance from the staff for the service. Prices are estimates and are only intended to provide directional information. You should contact the funeral home to get a general price list and confirm available services before making purchase decisions.
In such tragedy, Paula and her team were helping us every step of the way to create the best experience possible to honor my dad. I can’t express enough gratitude to her and her team. Paula is open, honest, and transparent with her costs and how the entire process works. She walks you through step-by-step what you can expect and helps guide you through such a difficult process with love, support, and compassion.
