The urn for your home
The urn for your home is a type of burial which is particularly relevant for refugees from Ukraine, as it gives you the flexibility to store the ashes and thus continue burying them in your home country. To take the burden off you, we are happy to take care of all the organizational tasks relating to the funeral.

Процедура
Collection & cremation
After Benu has been commissioned, the deceased is collected from the place of death. They are dressed, placed in the coffin and prepared for cremation. We will register the death with the registry office for you.
Legal basis
In Austria, it is permitted to store an urn at home, provided the landowner and the municipality/municipal authority have given their consent. We will organize the necessary official permits for you.
Handover & burial
After cremation, Benu will collect the urn and hand it over to you. You can either keep the urn in your home in Austria or return it to your home country.
Pricing
In the case of cremation with storage of the urn at home, only the costs for transportation and cremation are incurred.
In contrast to other types of burial, there are no costs for the cemetery, the right to use the grave, stonemasonry and grave maintenance.
The cost of a home urn is between 2,500 and 3,500 euros, depending on the federal state, and includes cremation, urn and authorization.

Frequently asked questions about the urn at home
How much does the urn cost at home?
An urn at home is quite inexpensive compared to other types of burial. Depending on the federal state, the price range is between around 1,890 and 2,090 euros.
How long can it take until cremation?
The cremation usually takes place within a week of the death. After that, there is no additional time pressure, as the urn can be stored at Benu until it is collected. Alternatively, we offer you the option of storing the urn with us for a longer period of time. We will be happy to advise you on this.
Do you need a coffin for cremation?
In Austria, it is a legal requirement that a coffin is used for the cremation of a deceased person. Typical untreated coffins made of solid wood, so-called cremation coffins, are used for cremation.
What's your benefit from Benu?
We take care of the entire organization, starting with the collection of the deceased, document processing and cremation, through to the storage and handover of the urn to you.
