PIETA is a biennial trade fair for funeral supplies and cemetery technology that has established itself as the leading industry platform in the new federal states of Germany since its inception in 1996. Organized by MESSE DRESDEN GmbH, the event is exclusively open to industry professionals and provides a specialized venue for exchanging ideas on current developments, innovations, and services in the funeral sector.

The event takes place at the modern MESSE DRESDEN exhibition center, which offers ideal conditions for an efficient trade fair experience with its compact layout, state-of-the-art technical facilities, and short walking distances. Dresden, known for its rich cultural heritage, also benefits from an accessible location, ensuring convenient travel for both national and international visitors.

The focus is on products and services related to funerals and cemeteries, including coffins, urns, funeral vehicles, cremation technology, cemetery machinery, and mourning ceremony decorations. Particular attention is given to forward-looking topics such as natural burials, environmentally friendly solutions, and digital tools that simplify daily operations for funeral service providers. The exhibition also features memorial jewelry, personalized commemorative items, and services for grief support and funeral planning.

Renowned for its high level of specialization, PIETA is not only the largest event of its kind in Eastern Germany but also a key meeting point for professionals seeking to establish new business connections, stay informed about international trends, and expand their networks. It is a place where innovations come to life, current challenges are discussed, and practical solutions are showcased in expert dialogue.
