At Spitalul de Obstetrică Ginecologie Buftea we collect straight from the morgue, right after the medical death certificate is issued, at any hour. At a death at home, the family doctor or the on-call doctor certifies it; the team sets off from Bucharest and usually reaches Buftea within 50–80 min (20.2 km).
The paperwork is done at Primăria Buftea, Strada Mihai Eminescu 10: we bring the medical death certificate and the deceased's ID and collect the death certificate, usually the same day.
The priest at Biserica „Adormirea Maicii Domnului" or at the family's parish holds the service; we bring the coffin and the flowers and organise the procession to the cemetery.
Burial takes place at Ortodox or, if the family chooses cremation, at Vitan-Bârzești (27 km, about 40 min).
Base cost: from 4,900 RON. We confirm the cemetery fees in Buftea with the town hall and list them separately, so you know everything upfront; the funeral allowance (ajutorul de înmormântare) can be signed over to us.
