How much does a funeral cost in total?

Our packages start from 3,990 RON (Essential) and go up to 10,900 RON (Premium). For insured individuals or pensioners, the price of the Essential, At-Home, Cremation and Traditional packages fits within the state funeral allowance of 9,192 RON. Optional items are paid separately.

Is VAT added to the prices?

The price shown is final. No VAT or other charges are added to it. You pay the package price plus any optional items you choose yourself, each with a listed price.

Are the prices firm or indicative?

The package price is firm for everything listed, in line with ANPC rules on pricing transparency. Price ranges (for coffins, wreaths, burial plots) are indicative because they depend on the model chosen — we give you the exact figure before any decision is made.

What is not included in the package?

Optional items, chosen separately: a new burial plot (if the family does not already have one), the memorial monument, the religious service (priest's fee, paid directly), subsequent memorial meals, and photo or video services. On Essential and At-Home, paperwork (350 RON), the allowance file (350 RON) and the ceremony (500 RON) are also separate. All are presented in advance, with a clear price.

Can I pay in instalments?

For packages that exceed the funeral allowance (Premium or bespoke arrangements), an instalment plan can be agreed — typically a deposit with the balance in payments, formalised by contract. We discuss the terms at our first meeting.

QUICK GUIDE

How to read a funeral quote

When you receive a quote from any funeral home, check these five points before you agree.

What the price covers — in writing: Ask for every item to be listed: coffin, transport, body preparation, paperwork. A single all-in figure with no breakdown cannot be meaningfully compared.
The final price, with or without VAT: Some quotes show a price before VAT, so the amount due ends up higher. Ask for the final price in writing. With us, the price shown is final: no VAT or other charges are added to it.
What is NOT included: A burial plot, the priest's fee, a photographer, memorial meals — these are typically separate. Ask for an explicit list of exclusions.
The funeral allowance — who handles it: Ask whether the provider assists with the allowance assignment paperwork or whether you must submit the application yourself and advance the funds.
When payment is due: Confirm whether full payment is required upfront, whether a deposit is needed, or whether payment can follow confirmation of the Pension House assignment.
