FREQUENT QUESTIONS
What families ask about Cremation Funeral Package
What's the Romanian Orthodox Church's stance on cremation?
The Romanian Orthodox Church doesn't accept cremation as a funeral option and doesn't officiate services for cremated persons. The family can organize a short farewell ceremony at the crematorium or an Orthodox memorial without the actual service, later. Other confessions (Catholic, Protestant, Neo-protestant) have different policies — they may officiate full services.
Where can the urn be placed after cremation?
Three main options: (1) columbarium — special wall at the crematorium or cemetery, with individual niches; (2) burial plot burial in existing or new plot (reduced price); (3) keep at home or scatter per the deceased's wish (legal in Romania, with some location restrictions). We discuss with the family which option fits the situation. Browse our range of funeral urns for the full choice.
Does the state aid cover the Cremation package?
The Cremation package price (4,900 RON) fits within the 9,192 RON aid for insured or retired persons. What you add on top — a columbarium niche concession, a memorial plaque, an urn upgrade — is paid separately, at the price we give before any commitment.
Cremation after a death at hospital: what happens?
The attending doctor issues the medical death certificate, and the deceased stays at the hospital morgue until pickup. Call us at any hour and we arrange the collection from the morgue. We obtain the civil death certificate from the Registry Office and the cremation clearance, prepare the crematorium file, and schedule the ceremony. Full steps on the death at hospital page; on the cremation procedure itself, see the dedicated page.
What documents are needed for the crematorium file?
For the Vitan-Bârzești crematorium, ADPMB requires the death certificate (original and copy), the embalming certificate (original), the burial-or-cremation clearance (original), a copy of the medical death certificate, and proof of kinship. That is why the Cremation package includes embalming — without it, the file cannot be complete. We prepare the entire file; the family only signs.
