This cemetery in Riga does not offer free plots for new burials. Only subsequent burials within existing plots of previously deceased relatives are permitted.
All plots for such family burials are provided free of charge, but some existing grave structures may need to be dismantled and subsequently restored. All required work is subject to a fee.
The total cost of services at the Celinieku Street Cemetery corresponds to the volume of work performed and the complexity of the conditions.
This cemetery performs burials in family graves. In the case of reburial of urns, a sanitary period is not required, so additional burials can be made at any time after the previous burial.
Any burial requires a permit coordinated with the cemetery administration. The person responsible for organizing the funeral must apply for permission to the Celinieku Street Cemetery administration, attaching the necessary documents, including the original death certificate and proof of relationship.
