NB: There are colleagues who offer quotations excluding the costs for grave rent and/or maintenance. They interpret these costs as burial costs and not as funeral costs. This might be correct but, in our opinion, this is somewhat misleading. This makes it seem like they can offer their services for much less than elsewhere. But these costs still need to be paid, if not through the funeral director or through the cemetery of Almere Haven itself.

Benefits of Ab-ire funeral care for a funeral at cemetery Almere

We are aware that, for most people, death is a major event. At such a moment and the period afterwards, relatives are often confronted with all kinds of emotions and very rational matters often have to be arranged in the short term, including arranging the funeral and burial. People have to make important decisions and usually have a strong need for professional help, support, and guidance, but from an organization or a person they can trust, who helps to give shape and interpretation to their wishes and who represents their interests.

Years of experience are just as important as a friendly and empathic person. We believe that we have everything to be of service to you and your relatives in a very professional and personal manner. We will not pretend that we can take away your grief and worries, we just want to relieve you. We see it as our responsibility to help you.

What you can expect from us

Clear communication: Lack of communication can be very annoying. We attach great value to personal communication and direct communication with relatives. This communication is essential to provide you with the best possible service.

In order to prevent relatives from being put on hold when registering a death or when reporting critical changes to, for example, clothing or music, we consciously chose not to use a call center.

Martijn Huffnagel is personally available 24/7 to report a death. He is happy to speak to you personally for questions, to pass on changes or to obtain more information about the upcoming cremation. Ab-ire funeral care is there for you day and night.

We respect funeral traditions and etiquette, but we also consider your personal wishes and offer you the desired space.

Martijn Huffnagel has extensive experience in arranging and supervising children’s funerals and funerals involving children, young adults, and people with intellectual disabilities.

Cost control: Relatives can be faced with unpleasant financial surprises after a funeral. This is often a result of multiple factors that make cost transparency a complex matter.

It is remarkable that many personal wishes and alternative possibilities are actually cost reducing but are nevertheless passed on as more expensive by various organizations, because there is supposedly a breach of contact or loss of income.

At Ab-ire funeral care, we look after your interests. We are able to do this because our services are completely independent.

Hassle-free funeral: The day of the funeral is an important day for relatives. Relatives say goodbye to their last one for the last time. It is a day on which all the conversations and considerations of the preceding days come together. Particularly on a day like this, the years of practical experience and expertise of Ab-ire funeral care make all the difference.
