When the death happens at Spitalul Ana Aslan, the person stays at the hospital morgue until the medical death certificate (certificat constatator) is issued; we collect from there and bring them to the chapel or home, in Otopeni. At a death at home, the family doctor or the on-call doctor certifies it; the team sets off from Bucharest and usually reaches Otopeni within 45–65 min (16.1 km).
The paperwork is done at Primăria Otopeni: we bring the medical death certificate and the deceased's ID and collect the death certificate, usually the same day.
The priest at Biserica Ortodoxă „Sfântul Gheorghe” Otopeni 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 Otopeni or, if the family chooses cremation, at Vitan-Bârzești (24.9 km, about 32 min).
Base cost: from 4,900 RON. We confirm the cemetery fees in Otopeni 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.
