Ilfov at a glance — how it differs from Bucharest

Ilfov is the county around Bucharest: suburban towns (Voluntari, Otopeni, Popești-Leordeni, Bragadiru, Chiajna and others) plus more distant communes. A funeral here often uses the same hospitals, the same crematorium and similar routes as in Bucharest — but civil-status papers are issued at the local town hall, and the cemetery is usually the communal one.

Illustrative: quiet consultation space.

We are a family funeral home based in Bucharest. We come day and night across Ilfov: collection from home, hospital or care home, preparation, paperwork, coffin, ceremony, transport to the cemetery or crematorium. You are not passed between several providers.

On this page you will find how a funeral is organised in Ilfov: towns with dedicated pages, cemeteries, crematorium, steps, costs, state funeral aid, and links to the capital. For Bucharest districts, see funeral services Bucharest.

Cemeteries in Ilfov and links to Bucharest

Most Ilfov localities have a communal cemetery run by the town hall. Concession terms and burial fees are set locally — we check them so you do not queue without need in the first hours.

Many Ilfov families also use Bucharest cemeteries (Bellu, Berceni, Izvorul Nou, Ghencea, Colentina) if they already hold a plot. We coordinate transport and timing on both types of site.

Crematorium serving Ilfov

Crematoriul Vitan-Bârzești (Șos. Vitan-Bârzești 9–11, Sector 4) is the active human crematorium for Bucharest and Ilfov. Cremations for Voluntari, Otopeni, Popești-Leordeni and the rest of the county are arranged there.

We handle licensed hearse transport, slot booking, the urn and handover of the ashes. Distances differ by town — see the table above. Full procedure: cremation and cremation urns.

Traditions and practical notes in Ilfov

In Ilfov towns and communes, an Orthodox service remains the default. A wake at home is still common where the cemetery chapel is small or busy. On beltway towns, some families use a chapel in Bucharest, then travel to the Ilfov cemetery.

Illustrative: church — ceremony.

Civil registration is at the local town hall, not a Bucharest sector office. Release times for the death certificate can vary; we follow the file so the family is not left waiting at the counter without reason.

For a hospital death, collections from Ilfov often go via Bucharest hospitals (Floreasca, Pantelimon, Bagdasar, University Hospital, Colentina, Fundeni), then to the chapel, local cemetery or crematorium.

How a funeral is organised in Ilfov

The steps match the national process, with two practical differences: the family doctor or certifying doctor may take longer at night in smaller communes, and civil-status papers are issued by the Ilfov town hall.

State funeral aid for Ilfov families

Ilfov families have the same CNPP funeral-aid rights as the rest of Romania: 9,192 RON for an insured person or pensioner (the amount in force in 2026). Rights can be assigned to the funeral home so the family does not advance cash on packages that fit the aid.

Some Ilfov town halls also grant a local social burial grant in hardship cases — amounts and papers differ by locality. We check with the town hall without promising money they do not have.

Guides: funeral allowance, 2026 amount, file checklist.
