Thanksgiving

In the funeral rooms of the region we arrange the farewell individually according to your ideas and matching the personality of the deceased.

Burial, a question of personality.

Earth burial

For the burial of the coffin you can choose between different types of graves: the earth row grave with free right of use of 20 years or the family grave with paid right of use of 40 years. You can take care of the grave yourself or leave it to the cemetery administration.

Chrine burial

After cremation of the coffin, you can choose from a variety of burial options for the urn. Cemeteries offer free graves such as the urn row and communal graves, as well as fee-based graves such as the urn niche or the meadow, urn family and tree graves. In addition to a variety of alternative burial options outside the cemetery, you also have the option of taking the urn home with you.

Rhine burial

Rhine burial is a wonderful burial option for Basel residents and Rhine lovers. On one of four Rhine ferries, after a small farewell ceremony, the urn of the deceased is buried in silence or in the presence of the relatives. If desired, the ceremony can be accompanied by music and a solemn speech by the captain. Of course, we also offer burial in other rivers and lakes. Just contact us!

Air burial

To fly once and be gently scattered to the four winds - for many people a beautiful idea, which we at Bestattungen Hans Heinis make come true. Thus, the scattering of ashes from a small airplane, flown by Cyrill Thoma himself, is a popular service offered by our company. Of course, we can also arrange other airplane burials or a balloon burial. We will be happy to advise you.

**Forest burial

For many people, the forest is not only an idyllic place of rest during their lifetime - burial in so-called burial forests is also becoming increasingly popular. In this nature-loving forest burial, the ashes are interred at the foot of a magnificent tree. Over time, the tree absorbs the ashes through its roots and the deceased is thus reintroduced into the cycle of life. We are also happy to offer you the private forest of Bestattungen Hans Heinis as a resting place. You are cordially invited to a guided tour on site!

A death care means security.

Many people have clear ideas about their last journey - or at least about what you absolutely or definitely do not want to be there. Think for yourself: How do you imagine your farewell? How do you want your abdication to be arranged? What music will be played? And where would you like to be laid to rest? By recording your wishes and those of your relatives in a funeral contract, you can remain self-determined in death and face life with more serenity. We will be happy to discuss all legal and social issues with you.

Record your funeral wishes in detail with us - and enjoy the good feeling with your family that everything is securely arranged.

For initial thoughts on your death care.

Our online retirement planning form is designed to help you get started thinking about your death care. You can print it out for your own records or send it directly to us online so that we can advise you in detail about your wishes in a personal meeting.

Coffins and urns from classic to modern.

The careful selection of a coffin or urn is a final token of love. Whether classic, modern or individual - our extensive range of coffins and urns will meet the most diverse ideas. Just let yourself be inspired by the wide range of materials, colors and shapes. We would be happy to show you many of the urn models you can see here in our funeral homes in Basel, Binningen and Laufen.

Mourning print, as individual as a past life.

Mourning circulars do not always have to be classic black and white. We are happy to design and print funeral announcements, cards and thank you notes as diverse and colorful as the life and personality of your deceased loved one. With a personal picture or a special text, matching his hobby or his nature. Talk to us about your ideas! At Heinis Druckerei we produce your individual funeral printed matter and also take care of the advertisement publication as well as the timely dispatch of the funeral cards.

Funeral director for the love of people

In the heart of Basel and at our locations in Binningen, Laufen and Liestal, we are your experienced companions in all matters of funerals - and have been for 130 years. We always act in your best interest and support you reliably with empathy and tact. As a funeral director with a federal certificate and member of the Swiss Professional Association, the highest quality has always been our standard. And this is evident even in small gestures such as the white rose we leave behind when collecting the body as a sign of a life gone by.

Since 1888 our house stands for quality.

With our funeral home Hans Heinis, formerly Matthey-Meier, we are now celebrating our 130th anniversary. During this time, we have gained invaluable experience in dealing with death, grief and confidence. Whether in the sensitive counseling of mourners and those making provisions for the future or in the personal design and implementation of funerals and burials - we have always placed great value on quality. In doing so, we preserve dignified traditions, break new ground and treat everyone who comes to us with respect and openness.
