Sensitive animal burials in Bochum: Farewell with heart and respect

Sensitive animal burials in Bochum: Farewell with heart and respect

In Bochum, saying goodbye to beloved pets is a sensitive and often emotional event. Pet owners will find various offers there that enable them to pay their last respects to their four-legged friends with dignity. An important point of contact for many is the “Rosengarten” funeral home, which is run by the experienced animal undertaker Vanessa Keil. It sensitively accompanies pet owners as they say goodbye to their deceased pets and offers a modern and friendly environment in which the loss can be dealt with effectively. The funeral home is located on the Heckhuesen estate in the Gerthe district, surrounded by quiet pastures that create a peaceful atmosphere.

The services in the “Rosengarten” are diverse. Pet owners can bring smaller animals with them directly, while larger dogs have to wait in the car before being handed over. When the urn is handed over, the mourners receive not only the urn but also a basket with a rose and relevant documents. One of the funeral home's main priorities is to carry out strict controls and documentation to ensure that the animals' ashes are not mixed up. It is also emphasized that no body parts will be removed as memorabilia, although cremation offerings are permitted as long as they are not too large.

Pick-up service and individual design

Vanessa Keil sees the grief felt as a crucial part of the process. This is particularly important for children, who are often severely affected emotionally. The “Rose Garden” offers a special opportunity here: children can create letters or pictures for their deceased pets, which will be taken with them on their final journey. A pick-up service is also available, so parents don't have to make a special trip in a difficult moment.

The pricing is transparent and depends on the individual wishes of the pet owner. An anonymous collective cremation for small animals starts at 120 euros, while personal cremations for dogs up to 10 kg cost around 320 euros. For larger animals such as horses, the costs can be up to 2000 euros. Pet owners also have the option of burying their most common pets in the yard or scattering the ashes, depending on municipal regulations. For many, this is an attractive alternative to cremation, which urban apartments often do not offer the option of burial.

A growing industry

The animal burial industry in Germany is experiencing a noticeable upswing. According to reports from industry representatives, more and more pet owners are choosing to go to the pet crematorium. Around 100,000 pets are cremated every year, while others end up in rendering facilities or are buried in the local garden. The companies not only offer cremation services, but also compassionate care from qualified staff. This type of service is particularly important in Bochum, as it combines a connection with emotional support and technical expertise and enables a respectful farewell.

The “Rosengarten” in Bochum also offers a large selection of urns, including creative designs such as rainbow urns or those designed as picture frames. Many pet owners now want urns that are not recognizable as such, reflecting the trend toward a broader range of designs to commemorate their pets. The high demand also shows that the annual turnover related to animal burial is estimated to be between 16 and 20 million euros, which indicates the growing awareness of the importance of a dignified burial.

After suffering the loss of a beloved family member, it helps to visit an environment as pleasant as the Rose Garden. Here, not only is professional craftsmanship placed, but great importance is also attached to compassionate mourning work.
