Spectrum of funeral services Automatic translate

As a rule, many funeral homes provide a wide range of services to organize a dignified farewell to the deceased. This area includes many areas - from basic procedures to elite service packages. Main categories of funeral services

Preparing the body for burial

Preparing the deceased for farewell is a top priority. These procedures are performed in city morgues under the supervision of specialists. Embalming remains a popular service for long-term storage of the body or transportation over long distances. The cost of the procedure varies and depends on the complexity and duration of preservation of the body. Specialists use modern drugs to slow down the decay processes.

Cosmetic preparation of the body includes the removal of postmortem defects, the application of make-up, and bringing the appearance to the state during life. Such services help relatives to say goodbye to a loved one with dignity.

Document flow and legal support

Funeral homes generally handle all the necessary paperwork. A medical death certificate is obtained at the morgue upon presentation of the deceased’s passport and the applicant’s passport. A death certificate is issued at the Civil Registry Office/MFC for further procedures.

Funeral agents professionally help in obtaining documents and organizing funerals, which significantly saves the energy and time of relatives.

For related burials, an additional package of documents is required, including certificates and documents confirming kinship and the right to a grave plot. In case of cremation, a separate set of documents is drawn up with the participation of a trusted person.

Cremation organization

Cremation in Moscow is carried out in specialized city crematoriums. The cost of the service starts from about 35,000 rubles and includes the rent of a funeral hall, the procedure itself and a standard urn for ashes. The process takes several hours, after which the ashes are placed in a special urn.

Moscow agencies can order cremation at Nikolo-Arkhangelskoye, Mitinskoye, and Khovanskoye crematoriums. The urn with ashes after cremation can be buried in the ground or placed in a columbarium niche. Relatives have the right to choose a resting place in accordance with family traditions.

Burial in cemeteries

Most of the capital’s cemeteries are closed for new burials. In closed cemeteries, only related sub-burials are possible 15 years after the previous burial. It is also possible to bury an urn with ashes in an existing related grave.

Registration of plots in existing cemeteries and organization of burial work are part of the funeral services in Moscow . Digging a grave, placing a coffin on a pedestal for farewell and arrangement of the burial site are included in the range of services provided.

Coffins and related products

As a rule, to organize a funeral or cremation, it is important to choose an official funeral home where the entire range of funeral products will be presented. Wooden coffins are made of various types of wood - from pine to oak. More budget options for coffins are upholstered with material. The upholstery is made of fabric or satin, depending on the selected model. Double-lidded coffins provide the opportunity to say goodbye to the deceased, and polished models add solemnity to the ceremony. For transporting the body by plane over long distances, zinc coffins are used, ensuring tightness. Such products are necessary for air transportation and border crossings.

Ritual accessories and decor

Funeral wreaths and compositions are an important part of the farewell ceremony. Agencies offer both artificial and live flower arrangements of different sizes and heights. Baskets and bouquets complement the overall design of the funeral event. Funeral clothing and footwear are selected taking into account the gender and age of the deceased. The sets include bed linen for the coffin, pillows, bedspreads and special slippers. Satin and silk materials provide a dignified appearance. Ritual attributes are selected in accordance with the person’s religion. Wooden, metal and stone items are installed on graves to mark the resting place.

Hearse transport

Specialized funeral transport provides transportation of the deceased and accompanying persons. Hearses of various capacities - from cars to 19-seat buses - are adapted for funeral ceremonies. The cost of renting a hearse depends on the route and class of transport. The basic route "morgue-cemetery" is cheaper than the extended one with stops at designated addresses.

The cars are equipped with air conditioners and special locks for safe transportation of the coffin and ritual objects. The drivers are familiar with the location of all ritual objects in Moscow and the best routes.

Intercity and international transportation

Transportation of the deceased outside Moscow requires special registration and preparation of the body. The service "cargo 200" includes embalming, a sealed zinc coffin and accompanying documentation.

Air transportation is carried out through Moscow airports in compliance with international requirements.

Ground transportation by specialized funeral transport is often chosen for transportation to nearby regions.

24/7 support

Funeral agency hotlines operate seven days a week and provide immediate consultation. Experienced specialists help from the first minutes of contact.

Free visits of agents to homes or medical institutions speed up the process of organizing a funeral. The initial consultation is free and helps the family navigate the situation. Professional agents have many years of experience and know all the nuances of the funeral business. Tact and delicacy are the main qualities of funeral service employees.

Moscow funeral agencies represent a developed industry with a variety of services and price categories. From basic social packages to elite service - every family can find a suitable option for a dignified farewell to a loved one. Professional support at all stages of the funeral process helps relatives cope with organizational issues in difficult times.
