Het Ruiterhuys
The pond full of water lilies in the summer sun, fringed by reeds, a weeping willow and a wooden fence. Still water, nobody about.

Saying goodbye at Het Ruiterhuys

A warm, peaceful and atmospheric place where family and friends come together to support each other and share memories.

Our rural setting offers room for silence, togetherness and personal moments, but also for celebrating a life.

The long tiled-roof building seen across a pond with water lilies and a fountain. Branches of a weeping willow hang into the foreground; between the building and the water stand tall pines and a wooden fence with reed beds.
The indoor stable seen lengthwise: wooden chairs in rows on either side of a wide oak central aisle, beneath a roof of old rafters with two layers of string lights below. At the end of the aisle a hay bale stands in front of the closed barn doors, with soft wall lighting along the planks.

Chairs in rows while words are spoken, tables when everyone eats together: the same room holds both. Old rafters above a wide oak floor, soft light along the wooden walls.

A hay bale against the wooden wall of the indoor stable, overgrown with an arrangement of pink and orange roses, white cow parsley and greenery. On the beam above, lit candles stand between two arrangements; on the floor in front, two lanterns with candles and loose bunches of white and pink flowers.

As personal as the farewell calls for.

  • A condolence or memorial gathering, tailored to you
  • Tailored arrangements before and after the ceremony, to make the farewell as personal as possible
  • Can be combined with a lunch, drinks, dinner or another fitting arrangement
  • In fine weather we open the doors to the private terrace

We regularly work with funeral directors and carefully coordinate every detail.

We are here for you, in peace and quiet.

With love, Team Ruiterhuys
