Bereavement guide

The most important tips for dealing with death

"Death is part of life" - what we usually perceive as just an often-heard everyday wisdom, we become painfully aware of when a dear person actually has to pass away. Often we even tend to suppress the thought of the finiteness of life. The bereaved are often at a loss and helpless in the face of a sudden death. They suddenly have to overcome bureaucratic, organizational and economic hurdles. Finding the right contact person and obtaining expert information quickly, competently and unbureaucratically is often easier said than done. Moreover, in mourning, people are often unable to think about what needs to be done and whom to turn to in order to complete the necessary formalities. It is therefore helpful to have a guidebook at hand that at least offers initial orientation in such a situation.

The guide

This brochure from the city of Hof is certainly a valuable support for this. It is intended to help you arrange your own affairs and make it easier for relatives to make decisions. This brochure is intended to provide you with further information and practical assistance so that you can gain an overview of what needs to be done in detail in the event of a bereavement. At the same time, it offers an overview of the various forms of burial at the Plauener Straße cemetery. In addition, the bereavement guide provides information about the Hof cemetery, a wonderful place of silence that is always worth a visit, especially for personal contemplation.
