STATE FUNERAL ALLOWANCE · THE PACKAGE PRICE FITS
In 2026, the state grants a funeral allowance of 9,192 RON for insured persons and pensioners. The price of our Essential, At-Home, Traditional and Cremation packages fits within that amount: through the assignment of rights, the allowance is paid straight to us, and the family does not advance the package money. Optional items are paid separately. We walk you through every detail on the very first call.
The funeral allowance stands at 9,192 RON for insured persons and pensioners, and 4,596 RON for uninsured persons, according to the National Pension House (CNPP). The current amounts took effect on 30 March 2026, under Law 44/2026.
It is paid to the person who bears the funeral costs — typically a family member — upon submitting a claim together with the death documents.
