Funeral services in Riga
Information service 24/7
A Riga City Funeral Service representative, acting under a power of attorney, can expertly assist you with these matters.
A specific set of documents is required to organize the burial procedure. Additional documents are required for the transportation of the deceased (repatriation), if necessary. It is also important to reserve a plot at a cemetery in Riga in advance.
The primary document required to begin the burial process is a medical certificate of cause of death or a court decision confirming the fact of death. This document legally establishes the fact of death, which is necessary for the issuance of an official death certificate. The certificate, in turn, is required for all subsequent stages, such as burial, exhumation, and transportation of the body, as well as for the assignment of social benefits.
A specialist at our Funeral Home will obtain a medical certificate of cause of death, which is necessary to obtain an official death certificate. The certificate will also be used to organize all processes related to the funeral and cremation under the existing power of attorney. To obtain a medical certificate, you will need the deceased's documents, as well as those of a relative or trusted person.
To register the death and subsequent funeral arrangements, you must obtain an official death certificate. To obtain this benefit, you will need to submit certain documents to any civil registry office in Latvia. After all necessary documents are submitted, a death certificate will be issued.
In Riga, the amount of financial assistance for funerals is up to 430 euros.
In the event of the death of an insured person, a payment equal to twice the average salary, calculated based on insurance contributions, is provided. For pensioners and unemployed individuals, the funeral benefit amount is equal to twice the pension or unemployment benefit, respectively. If the deceased received both a pension and unemployment benefit, a single benefit is assigned based on the higher of the two amounts. The benefit is transferred to the recipient's account. Applications for the benefit can be submitted within one year of the death.
