The Facultatieve Group Information

Since its founding in 1874, the Facultatieve has been committed to providing a dignified farewell according to one's own wishes and played a pioneering role in making cremation possible in the Netherlands. In the Netherlands, the Facultatieve built the first crematorium: Westerveld (1913). Freedom of choice runs like a common thread through the history of the Facultatieve. That freedom of choice serves as our blueprint. Today, the Facultatieve manages various crematoria and cemeteries both in the Netherlands and abroad. With operating companies all over the world, the Facultatieve is now active in a large number of areas. Facultatieve is the global market leader in the field of combustion and environmental technology. The head office is located in The Hague.
