DEATH AT HOSPITAL · ESSENTIAL PACKAGE

Death at hospital — what to do and how we help

When death occurs at hospital, the attending doctor issues the medical death certificate and the deceased is usually taken to the hospital morgue. From there, you are free to choose any funeral house — no one can force you to use a particular provider. We pick up from the morgue and offer the Essential package, from 3,990 RON, made for a death at hospital. See also the details on death at hospital.

Steps when death occurs at hospital

The attending doctor certifies the death and issues the medical death certificate. The deceased is transferred to the hospital morgue, where they can generally remain for a period at no extra cost.

The hospital may ask you to choose a funeral house. You have the full right to choose whoever you wish — this right is protected by law, and we help you exercise it calmly.

Your right to choose the funeral house

No hospital and no staff member can impose a particular funeral firm on you. Directing families toward a specific provider is prohibited. You decide who picks up and organizes.

If you feel pressure in this regard, tell us — we explain your rights exactly and take over the situation.
