Uitvaart.Com

Disposal of the dead is carried out according to the supposed wishes of the deceased so far as is reasonably possible. "Article 18 of the Burial and Cremation Act leaves no room for doubt: the deceased has the right to a burial or cremation which accords with his or her personal beliefs and the manner in which he or she has lived." However, it is frequently unclear as to precisely which choices an individual would make regarding their burial or cremation. For this reason, Peter van Schaik launched Uitvaart.Com, an internet company containing informative sites concerning life’s end, in 1997. The aim of Uitvaart.Com is to inform the public about the potential choices available relating to the broad field of terminal care, burial and cremation, and aftercare. To this end, Uitvaart.Com manages public-oriented sites including Uitvaart.nl and Uitvaartverzekering.nl, as well as the branch-oriented web community Uitvaartbranche.nl. In view of this informative function, 'the Facultative Group' has sponsored these sites since October 2005.
