In 1881, the Jena funeral home "Pietät" was founded by Mr. Alfred Pilling. As a master carpenter, he combined his own coffin workshop with the services of a funeral home. At the turn of the century, Bernhard Pilling took over the business.

The funeral home then became municipal property, but was still located in Leutrastrasse and over the next few years became part of various municipal facilities as the "Cemetery and Funeral Services" department.

Due to the construction of the university tower block and the planned demolition of all buildings in Leutrastrasse, the company moved to "Am Planetarium" 13 (offices on the first floor) in 1971

At the same time, the company was taken over by the former "VEB Stadtwirtschaft Jena".
