The translation of this is something to the effect of:
For their intimate kindness on the occasion of the passing of my dear wife, our Mother
Anna Scharrier (maiden name: Meffert)
We say best wishes and thanks
Karl Scharrier and children
Gerogstrasse 40, Vaihingen-Enz, Altersheim in the August of 1961
Vaihingen/Enz, Altenheim, on the 20th March 1962
Our dear, dear father, grandfather, great-grandfather, father-in-law, brother and uncle
Karl Scharrier
today, unexpectedly followed his wife to their eternal home
The grieving who remain:
Alice Merkel (maiden name: Scharrier)
Stuttgart S, Liststrasse 49 (address)
funeral: Monday, 22 March 1962, 14:30 clock, from the cemetery chapel from Vaihingen
I looked up the cemeteries in Vaihingen and there is only one listed (that is if he was buried in Vaihingen...there are nearby cities, each with a cemetery)...here is the google maps satellite shot anyway:
Something interesting about the funeral announcement of Karl Scharrier is that his daughter Alice is listed as the grieving child, but has a married name: Merkel. I have no place in my records she was married, so that's kind of cool. I also looked up the address that she was listed at the time of death and am posting the pictures (thanks google map).
