Exhumation
Exhumation is the process of opening a burial site and relocating a previously interred body or mortal remains. In Latvia, exhumations can officially be conducted only one year after the day of burial, upon obtaining all the necessary documents and permits for exhumation.
The funeral home ANGEL shows respect for the memory of the deceased and is ready to assist families who decide to carry out an exhumation. For the family, this moment can be painful and complicated once again.
This procedure may be necessary for various reasons. Special permits and documents are required to perform exhumations.
Our team will help gather and process all the necessary documents, including the permit for exhumation in accordance with the legislation.
There are several significant reasons why families may decide to carry out an exhumation:
- Reburial (relocation of burial sites)
- Identification (recognition of the individual, clarification of identity)
- Research (scientific, medical)
- Ritual or religious conviction
