Leuven, Kessel-Lo, Heverlee, Wilsele and Wijgmaal: your funeral in trusted hands
Arranging a funeral involves many decisions and practical matters in a short period of time. That is why we support families in Leuven, Kessel-Lo, Heverlee, Wilsele and Wijgmaal from the very first contact, taking care of as many practical arrangements as possible. Above all, we listen to their wishes and how they would like to say goodbye to their loved one.
With our Coorevits-Dijleland Funeral Home in Bertem, we are close at hand. You can come to us for a final viewing, but also for the complete farewell ceremony in our ceremony hall and the reception afterwards. A funeral can, of course, also take place in one of the many churches in Leuven or its surrounding districts, at the crematorium or at another location that is meaningful to the family or their loved one.
Leuven has many churches and several cemeteries. We know the different options in the city and surrounding area well and can guide you through the practical arrangements and the choice of location for the farewell. This allows us to offer personal guidance while also helping with all the practical arrangements involved in saying goodbye.
