The death of a loved one, even if he was sick for a long time, always comes as a surprise. But no matter how tragedy it may be for you, it will be necessary to organize a funeral, especially since the participation of loved ones in their organization is a prerequisite. Burying a person will not be a problem and will not turn into unbearable financial costs when you know the order of your actions.
Instructions
Step 1
If a person died at home and suddenly, you immediately need to invite a district inspector, who, after conducting a forensic medical examination, will testify that the death occurred for natural reasons, and issue you a death certificate. When a person dies after a long illness, you will receive such a certificate from the head physician at the clinic where he was observed. In this case, the body will be delivered to the morgue by employees of the special service, whom you will call at home. If the death occurred in a hospital, it will be possible to obtain a medical certificate of death at the morgue.
Step 2
A medical certificate is required in order to exchange it for a death certificate of the established state standard. This is the main document confirming the death of a person, which is necessary for relatives to further formalize the inheritance. It is necessary to get this certificate at the registry office, now it is already possible in any that is nearby. This will require a medical certificate of death, the passport of the deceased and the relative who will go to receive the document. Contact the Social Security at the place of registration of the deceased so that you can get a certificate of state subsidies for the funeral. At the moment it is 6 thousand rubles. They can be obtained immediately at Sberbank or only later, after the funeral.
Step 3
If you don’t have the extra money, you can arrange a decent funeral by not using funeral agencies. With the death certificate, you should contact the municipal company that provides funeral services. As a rule, there you can arrange not only a place in the cemetery, but also buy everything you need: a coffin, a cross, a pillow, a bedspread, wreaths, handkerchiefs and towels. Handkerchiefs and towels, according to the Orthodox tradition, are handed out to the cemetery. There you can also order the transportation of the body and accompanying persons from the morgue or from home to the cemetery.
Step 4
After a place in the cemetery is allocated to you, you should drive up there, see where it is located, and agree to dig a grave. You can dig it up with the help of relatives and friends, but in some cases you have to order equipment if the soil is rocky. Go to the morgue and take the clothes for the deceased, there you will have to pay for washing the body.
Step 5
If you want to bury him according to the Orthodox tradition, you can go to the church and buy the necessary ritual supplies there, as well as order a funeral service, which can be held in the morgue, at home, in the cemetery, or the day after the funeral. Organize a funeral service for the day of the funeral. Many cafes and canteens specialize in this service and are inexpensive.
