What cremation involves
More families in Warsaw are choosing cremation for practical, financial and personal reasons. After a farewell ceremony, the deceased is cremated and the ashes placed in an urn. This can be buried in an urn grave, added to a family grave or placed in a columbarium. A Catholic Mass or secular ceremony can precede cremation. The time and place are arranged with the family and coordinated with the funeral ceremony.
We can handle the whole process: preparation of the deceased, a cremation coffin, transport to the crematorium, cremation, urn choice and the subsequent urn burial. Scope and cost are agreed individually. Before deciding, confirm which elements the quote includes.

Before calling, note questions about preparation and a personal farewell. Our guide explains clothing for cremation.

The process
Simply, calmly and with care: we guide the family through each stage.
Farewell
A religious or secular farewell ceremony can take place before cremation.
Cremation
We arrange transport to the crematorium and the cremation.
Urn
We collect the ashes and place them in the urn selected by the family.
Urn burial
We place the urn in an urn grave, family grave or columbarium.
Formalities: we help handle them for you
Cremation requires the medical death certificate and the USC death record. In most cases, cremation can proceed after standard formalities, which we handle on the family's behalf. A certificate needed for the urn burial is issued after cremation.
Cremation can be combined with any form of ceremony. If the family wishes to have an open-coffin farewell beforehand, we can arrange this too. We advise on a ceremony consistent with the deceased's wishes and manageable for loved ones.
