  • Why vegan?
    Most people are animal friends. I assume you are an animal friend too 💕. Veganism is the practice of avoiding the exploitation of animals for food, clothing, or any other purpose. This includes avoiding animal products such as meat, dairy, eggs, and honey, as well as animal-derived materials such as leather, wool, and silk. I have been vegan for years, initially for the animals and later also for the climate. So as an animal friend you are safe here.
  • Can you tell me more about the logo?
    Nice question! It is a shroud in the shape of a flower, the arum flower. Because it hat has the same enfolding properties as a shroud. It is a protective flower that can be a safe space. In the language of flowers, the arum represents faith, hope and love. It can also stand for rebirth: Since arum flowers often emerge in early spring, they can represent new beginnings. If you see an icecream in it, that is totally fine too ☺️

It really depends on region and your funeral home what is possible and allowed to grant someones wishes. If you need inspiration for a carrier or bier, online is many inspiration to find.
