GUIDES · 2026 EDITION

Romanian funeral guides — plain answers for families here and abroad

Fifteen short guides in plain English — for families in Romania and abroad — covering the whole funeral process: what to do first, the paperwork, real costs, the state funeral aid, cremation and repatriation. If the death has just happened, start with immediate-steps guide. Every number and procedure is checked against the official source (CNPP, ANPC, Romanian Law 102/2014, the DSP) and updated when the rules change.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

How to use the guides

  • Which guide should I read first after a death in Romania?

    Start with the correct order after a death — it covers the first 24 hours: who certifies the death, what not to touch, which papers to find. Then move on to the funeral planning guide.

  • I live abroad. Do the guides cover bringing someone home to Romania?

    Yes. The repatriation guide explains the mortuary passport, consulate steps and costs, and we handle the paperwork on the Romanian side.

  • Are the amounts in the guides up to date?

    Yes. Figures — including the 9,192 RON state funeral aid for 2026 — are checked against the National Pension House (CNPP) and revised whenever the law changes.

  • Is the information valid everywhere in Romania?

    Yes. The guides describe national law and procedure. Local details — cemeteries, response times — are on the Bucharest and Ilfov pages of the Romanian site.

  • If I read the guides, do I still need a funeral home?

    The guides help you understand the process and avoid mistakes, but the paperwork, collection and ceremony still need organising. Call us with any question — the phone consultation is free.
