About us

A funeral home that takes time for you.

“A good farewell is one that feels true to the person who has died and gives comfort to those who remain.”

Beerdigungsinstitut Artur Ode is an owner-managed funeral home in Bad Schwartau, led by Andreas Schaack. We accompany families before, during and after a bereavement, with a quiet, respectful and reliable presence.

Every family has its own traditions, beliefs and ways of grieving. Some wish for a classic ceremony in a church or chapel, others for a simple farewell in a small circle, in a forest or at sea. We help you find the form that suits your loved one and your family, and we explain each decision in plain language.

Beyond the ceremony itself, a death brings paperwork, deadlines and many questions. We guide you through these formalities so you are not left uncertain at a time when your strength is needed elsewhere.

Listening first. Advice that is honest, clear and free of pressure.
