Kessler Twins to Be Laid to Rest Side by Side in Grünwald Under Bavarian Ashes Rule

The sisters chose assisted dying this week with a 2023 will directing a substantial estate to several charities.

Overview

  • Bavarian cemetery regulations forbid combining remains in a single urn, blocking the twins’ wish to share one with their mother and dog.
  • Their urns will be placed next to their mother in the Grünwald forest cemetery, while the timing and form of the funeral have not been announced.
  • The German Society for Humane Dying accompanied their deaths and says it was not informed about any burial instructions.
  • A 2023 revision to their will divides a sizable estate, including the Grünwald house, among Missione per i ciechi/CBM, UNICEF, Paul‑Klinger‑Künstlersozialwerk and Deutsche Stiftung Patientenschutz.
  • Friends received farewell packages and letters that thanked assisted dying and said, “We came into the world together and will leave it together.”
