A volunteer-run resource rooted in the Stadt München employee community
We are an association of current and former municipal employees who compile plain-language information on funeral cost planning and family financial protection.
Founded on mutual support between colleagues
The Sterbe-Unterstützungs-Vereinigung der Beschäftigten der Stadt München began as an informal circle of municipal colleagues who wanted to help one another understand the practical and financial side of bereavement. Over time, that circle grew into a small association dedicated to gathering and sharing information.
Today, our work is entirely informational. We do not sell insurance policies, manage funds on behalf of members, or act as a financial intermediary of any kind. Instead, we maintain this website as a reference point for anyone who wants to understand the subject better.
The principles behind our work
Independence
We do not receive commission from insurers or funeral providers, and we do not endorse specific companies.
Clarity
We write in plain language and avoid unnecessary jargon so the information is easy to follow.
Respect
We handle a sensitive subject with care, recognising that readers may be going through a difficult time.
