FREQUENT QUESTIONS
What families ask about Essential Funeral Package
Is the pine casket strong enough for a burial?
Yes, it's the standard used in most Romanian burials. Pine is light, easy to work, and strong enough for transport and burial. For cases requiring zinc or for international repatriation, a special variant with zinc layer is used — but this isn't necessary for a local burial.
How does the rights assignment to you work?
The assignment goes through the funeral aid application file. We can prepare it for 350 RON (optional): you sign a standard rights assignment form to Agenția Funerară Sobru, which we submit to the National Pension House (CNPP). Within 3 business days max, the aid is transferred directly to us, so you do not advance it. If you prefer, you can file the application yourself.
What happens if the deceased wasn't insured?
For uninsured persons, the state aid is 4,596 RON (half the standard). On the first call we tell you whether the package price fits within this amount, before any commitment. Full rules on our uninsured persons guide.
How much do the optional extras cost with the Essential package?
Civil-status and DSP formalities cost 350 RON, the funeral aid application file 350 RON, and ceremony organization and coordination 500 RON. Preparation of the deceased and embalming are priced on the price list. All are optional and paid separately. The cross, the wreath, the burial plot, the gravestone and the priest's fee are paid separately, outside the package.
When is embalming mandatory?
Embalming is not included in the Essential package. It becomes mandatory if the deceased is shown with an open casket in a public place (chapel, funeral home, mortuary house) or transported for burial to another locality, at a minimum of 30 km (Government Decision 741/2016, art. 5 para. 1 and art. 27). It is carried out only in authorized premises. If it is needed, we add it at the price on the price list.
Does the Essential package fit a death at home?
The Essential package has its transport set from the hospital. For a death at home there is the At-Home package (5,200 RON): everything in Essential, plus a doctor to certify the death, embalming, preparation of the deceased and 24 h in a refrigerated room.
