The "Himmelsgruss & Seelenfrieden" fair in Minden represents an annual event that positions itself as a forum for exchange and information surrounding the sensitive subjects of farewell, death, and mourning. Established in 2023, this fair has taken it upon itself to bridge the gap between the often-taboo topic of death and society by providing space for enlightenment, dialogue, and preparation. The goal of the fair is to heighten awareness of the importance of a dignified farewell while showcasing the diverse range of options and services that can offer support during these emotionally challenging times. The focus is on the individual and personal design of farewells, coping with grief, and preparation for the future. Numerous service providers from different sectors present themselves at the fair, supporting visitors with their expertise and products. These include, among others, funeral directors, cremation service providers, freelance speakers, hospice and palliative care networks, as well as florists offering floral arrangements for memorial services. Thus, the fair serves as a platform where visitors can establish direct contact with professionals and obtain comprehensive information. A distinctive feature of the fair is its commitment to creating transparency and alleviating visitors' fear of discussing death. Through its annual recurrence, the "Himmelsgruss & Seelenfrieden" fair provides an opportunity to stay informed regularly and to learn about new trends and developments in the field of grief support and funeral culture. The Himmelsgruss & Seelenfrieden takes place annually, and therefore for the third time previsibly in January 2026 in Minden.
