Welcome to Funeral Planning

Comprehensive advance planning, legacy planning and organisational support in the event of death.

Funeral Planning is there for you throughout Switzerland before, during and after a death. As a matter of course, I provide my services at your home. 

In the event of a death, I see myself as the link between you, the funeral home, and all other necessary agencies.

I have seen in my own family that answering questions ahead of time makes it much easier to focus on grief and cope with bereavement. Please note that I am not an undertaker!

I'm Barbara Schaerz, managing director of Funeral Planning Switzerland.

I'm committed to providing you with personalized support during this difficult time. Please don't hesitate to reach out for a confidential conversation.

Funeral Planning is here to care for you. Contact me directly:
