What is specific to Sector 1 for memorial services
The most requested church in Sector 1 is Biserica „Sf. Visarion Vechi“; for the memorial service we speak with the priest and bring the koliva, the ritual bread and the candles for the time of the service. Remembrance at the grave is held at Cimitirul Străulești II or at the cemetery where the person is buried; we prepare what is needed for the service beforehand.
We bring the koliva, the ritual bread and the alms packages home, to the church or to the cemetery — in Domenii, Aviației or anywhere in Sector 1. Scheduling for memorial services is done by phone, at a time that suits you.
