Our services

We take the work around the funeral off your hands, so your family can be together. Every family is different. That is why we first talk everything through with you, calmly.

Support at every moment

From the first phone call to the ocho dia. You choose at which moments you want us there.

  1. Right after the death

    One conversation with one contact person: wishes, number of guests, traditions, locations and planning.

  2. Visiting evenings

    Welcoming guests, drinks, kos di boka, serving, restocking and cleaning up. Singing or music if you wish.

  3. Church service and farewell

    Singers, musicians, practical support and provisions for the family.

  4. The day of the funeral

    Water and drinks before and after the farewell, welcoming guests, logistics and coordination.

    Full care of the gathering after the funeral, with the traditional elements.

What we do not do

Labaman is not a funeral home. These things stay with your funeral home and church:

  • Care of the deceased
  • Cooling and transport of the deceased
  • The coffin
  • The cemetery or cremation
  • The church service

We coordinate with them, so everything fits together well.
