What a Catholic funeral involves
A farewell in the Catholic rite follows an established, solemn order. For the family it is a time of prayer and reflection - which is why we take all the organisational matters upon ourselves. We agree the date of the ceremony with the parish and the cemetery administration, gather the documents, prepare the deceased and provide the coffin, transport and a dignified setting. Your only role is to be present and to say goodbye to your loved one.
We operate throughout Warsaw and at the largest cemeteries - Powązki, Cmentarz Bródnowski and Cmentarz Północny in Wólka Węglowa. We have over twenty years of experience in arranging Catholic ceremonies, we know the customs of individual parishes and we can take care of every detail: from the number of priests, through funeral music, to floral decoration and the venue for the wake.

How it proceeds
Simply, calmly and with care - we guide the family through every stage.
Reporting a death
You call us at any time. We come, take the deceased into our care and give you the first guidance.
Meeting and arrangements
Together we agree the date, the parish and the scope of services, and choose the coffin. We prepare a transparent quote.
Formalities
We handle the documents at the registry office, the parish and the cemetery office, including the death certificate and the burial permit.
Ceremony
We take care of the whole setting of the Mass and the funeral - transport, flowers, the procession and a dignified accompaniment to the place of rest.
Formalities - we handle them for you
To arrange a Catholic funeral you need: the medical certificate of death issued by a doctor, the deceased's ID card, and the details of the person making the arrangements. On the basis of the medical certificate of death we obtain the death certificate from the Civil Registry Office - a document required both by the parish and by the cemetery office. We can complete all these steps on your behalf.
We also help with the ZUS funeral allowance (from 1 January 2026 it amounts to PLN 7,000), which in many cases can be assigned directly to the funeral home - so the family does not have to cover the costs from its own funds before the benefit is paid. We explain the details calmly during the meeting.
