Blessing and open casket
In the Orthodox tradition, a wake with open casket and blessing by the priest is common. We coordinate this with the community.
Liturgy and ceremony
The funeral liturgy usually takes place in an Orthodox church or chapel. We coordinate with the priest and handle the organisational frame.
40-day memorial
The memorial on the 40th day plays an important role. We provide guidance on design and organisation.
Repatriation
On request we coordinate the transfer to Romania, Serbia, Greece, Bulgaria or Russia — with all required documents and in the local language.

We respect religious requirements and coordinate every step calmly with your family and community.
