Weissen Funeral Services

Welcome to Weissen Funeral Services in Raron – your experienced and compassionate funeral service in Upper Valais. The family-run company Bernhard Weissen Bestattungsdienste AG has been supporting bereaved families for decades with respect, dignity and professional expertise.

Funeral services with heart and expertise

Bernhard Weissen Bestattungsdienste AG combines psychological sensitivity in dealing with relatives with practical, organisational and commercial know-how. The aim is to arrange every funeral according to your wishes, with dignity and at a fair price – regardless of faith or worldview.

Family business with tradition

The funeral company was founded in 1985 by Bernhard and Vreny Weissen-Moser in Raron. In 2019, management was handed over to their son Alain, meaning two generations work together in the business and continuity is ensured.

Personal farewell rooms

In several farewell rooms, relatives have time for final touches, personal words and a calm, protected setting. The laying-out can take place with an open or closed coffin and is arranged individually according to the wishes of the bereaved family.

A farewell tailored to you

Weissen Funeral Services gives grief time and space – in a small circle, with family and friends, or very privately. The team ensures the farewell reflects the uniqueness of the deceased and remains a dignified memory.

Service focus and full organisation

The funeral service takes care of all formalities and processes so relatives can focus on their grief. From coordinating with authorities and churches to organising the service providers involved, there is a single point of contact who coordinates every step.

Funeral pre-planning and advice

As a modern funeral home, Weissen Funeral Services also advises on funeral pre-planning so personal wishes can be arranged early on. This provides security for your own future and relieves relatives in an emergency.

Quality standards and ongoing training

The company places great importance on continuous staff training to ensure a high service standard. As a member of the Swiss Association of Funeral Services, it follows quality guidelines that are regularly reviewed externally.

Funeral floristry and other services

The services also include funeral floristry with bouquets, arrangements, wreaths and individual designs. In-house florists provide compassionate advice and create floral tributes that give the farewell a personal setting.
