QUICK GUIDE

How to read a funeral quote

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

  1. 1

    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.

  2. 2

    VAT included or excluded

    VAT-registered firms add 19% on top of the listed rate. Always ask whether the price shown is inclusive or exclusive of VAT.

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    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.

  5. 5

    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.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Questions about our pricing

  • How much does a funeral cost in total?

    Our packages start from 4,900 RON (Cremation) and go up to 10,900 RON (Premium). For insured individuals or pensioners, the state funeral allowance of 9,192 RON covers the Essential, Cremation, and Traditional packages in full — the family pays nothing out of pocket.

  • Do the prices include VAT?

    We are not VAT-registered, so the rates shown are final — no VAT is added to your invoice. What you see is what you pay.

  • 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. 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.
