First steps and what to do in the event of the death of a loved one

The death of a loved one is a difficult and emotionally painful experience that we all face sooner or later.

The death of a loved one also involves a series of organizational matters that need to be addressed and managed. Our funeral home, ANGEL, will assist you during this difficult time.

If the death occurred in a hospital

The medical staff will perform all necessary procedures, the attending physician will issue a certificate stating the cause of death, and upon receipt of this medical document, based on the certificate and the deceased person's documents (passport or ID card), the registry office will issue a death certificate.

If the death occurred at home

Immediately call emergency medical services and/or the police to confirm the fact of death. After receiving the certificate stating the cause of death, it will be necessary to arrange for the deceased to be transported to the morgue, which can be done at any time of the day. Transportation is arranged by the funeral home.

After these steps, relatives of the deceased must visit the attending physician with the certificate issued by emergency medical services, and the attending physician will issue a certificate stating the cause of death. The next step is to obtain the death certificate from the registry office, based on the certificate stating the cause of death and the deceased person's documents (passport or ID card).

To receive a consultation or to arrange transportation from home to the morgue, our 24/7 hotlines are at your disposal:

Our funeral home ANGEL will assist you with all questions, undertake the organization of respectful farewell ceremonies, and among other things, will also process the necessary documents, such as:

  • Certificate stating the cause of death
  • Death certificate
  • Other documents that may be necessary depending on the situation
  • Cremation application
  • We will also process documents and collect them from the attending physician ourselves

After receiving all the necessary documents, the process of organizing the farewell ceremony begins, choosing between traditional funerals or cremation.

We will be with you and assist you throughout the entire process from start to finish!

We will provide information about available burial sites in cemeteries. We will organize farewells for your loved one and provide information about burial and cremation (crematoriums).

The type and location of the farewell depend on your preferences or the last wishes of the deceased.
