Funeral Services du Baume au Coeur
My father passed away on the 1st of January 2018. He was english and died in England. Thanks to A natural undertaking, a lovely funeral company in Birmingham, we’ve honored his last wishes : an ecological burial. That inspired me !
Now I want to offer in France what I’ve received in England : human warmth, lightness and appeasement.
At any moment in life, du Baume au Coeur supports you in your reflection and helps you
anticipate and organize eco-friendly funerals, respectful of Humans and Nature.
- You can come to meetings to familiarize with the topic of death.
- We accompagny you preparing the guide of your last wishes for your loved one’s to know what to do when the time comes.
- We help you organising (éco-friendly) funerals of your loved one’s right before or after
their death, to pay tribute to them in a way that truly represents who they were.

Personalized tribute
To help people to say goodbye to a loved one, I propose nice things to personalise the tribute :
- a booklet like in England. We can print pictures on it, the course of the ceremony, the lyrics of the songs, anecdotes, quotes…
- butterflies in origami,
- a song written just for the deceased person,
- flowers in a pot so the family can take one and plant it as a link with the person…
+ Mind the delay : in France, the law allows only 6 days* between the death and the funerals! *excluding Sundays and public holidays
