ABOUT US · FAMILY FUNERAL HOUSE

About the Sobru team

Agenția Funerară Sobru is a family funeral house that stands by you in the hardest moments. We work in partnership with agencies that have more than 24 years in funeral services. Our team holds the DSP authorizations needed for all procedures and strictly follows Romanian Law 102/2014 on funeral services. We're available day and night at the first call, answer in under a minute, and handle everything — transport, preparation, formalities, ceremony. With us, the family focuses on mourning, not bureaucracy.

In brief

  • We're available day and night at the first call, answer in under a minute, and handle everything — transport, preparation, formalities, ceremony.
  • An advisor takes situation details — death location, family wishes, budget.

How we work

Family calls us at the first call. An advisor takes situation details — death location, family wishes, budget. We set the plan together: chosen package, ceremony, responsible funeral agency (us), timelines.

Over the next 2-3 days, we handle everything: deceased pickup with licensed hearse, preparation (embalming, cosmetics, dressing), Civil Status formalities, sanitary clearance, CNPP funeral aid file, casket, transport to church and cemetery, memorial meal organization. Our full range is described on the funeral services page. The family decides final elements (clothes, photos, wreath ribbon messages) — the rest is our responsibility.

We stay alongside after the ceremony too — answer questions (how to cancel ID documents, how to open inheritance, how to renew a burial plot), offer consultation for monuments or later memorials.

Our values

  • Sobriety — no forced emotions, no commercial pressure, just real support
  • Transparency — firm prices, ANPC-compliant, no hidden costs. See cost breakdown for an independent breakdown.
  • Promptness — under-minute response, on-location presence in 60-90 minutes (coverage area)
  • Empathy — every family treated with respect and understanding, regardless of package or budget
  • Legal compliance — we follow Law 102/2014, DSP norms, ANPC rules
  • Discretion — all family information is confidential, we don't sell or use for marketing

Legally compliant

All our procedures comply with Romanian Law 102/2014 on cemeteries, human crematoria, and funeral services, supplemented by Law 246/2018. Personnel handling the deceased have valid DSP sanitary certifications. Funeral hearses are sanitary-licensed for public road transport.

For consumers, rights are protected by ANPC (Romanian National Authority for Consumer Protection). Advertised prices are final, contracts are clear, and problems can be resolved through SAL (Alternative Dispute Resolution) or, for disputes with traders in another EU country, the European Consumer Centre (ECC Romania).

FREQUENT QUESTIONS

Answers to frequent questions

  • How quickly do you arrive after the first call?

    In coverage area (Bucharest + Ilfov), 60-90 minutes, anytime day or night. For more remote areas (other counties), 2-4 hours. For urgent cases (violent death, accident), we prioritize and may be faster. All transport is handled by our licensed funeral transport service.

  • Are you a large agency with national network?

    No, we're a family funeral house with local coverage. Our team takes each case directly, no intermediaries. Our model: simplicity, direct presence, responsibility to family from first call to ceremony close.

  • How experienced are the agencies you work with?

    We work in partnership with agencies that have more than 24 years in funeral services. The agencies we partner with have helped more than 24,000 families. We're a family funeral house — no commercial pressure, just real support for families in hard moments. Our practical guides answer the most frequent questions, step by step.

  • Do you work nationwide or only locally?

    We work primarily in Bucharest and Ilfov. For cases in other counties, we take the case directly if needed (with a longer response time) or refer you to a trusted local funeral service.

  • Do you have the required sanitary authorizations?

    Yes. We have DSP (Public Health Directorate) authorizations for deceased transport and preparation (embalming, cosmetics). All involved personnel have valid sanitary certifications. Annual verifications, per Law 102/2014.
