Funeral services in Riga
Information service 24/7
The total cost of cremation in Riga is made up of the cremation itself and the related services — transport, coffin, ceremony and urn; part of the cost can be covered by the state funeral benefit. The process follows a set order: documents, an optional farewell, the cremation and the handover of the urn. This article explains what makes up the cost in 2026, how cremation works and what to know about the urn.
If you need to choose between cremation and burial or find out the exact figure, a specialist of Riga City Funeral Service will explain it. Advice around the clock: +371 2944 9849
An exact figure can only be given once it is known which services are needed — but we always fix the price in a written estimate before any work begins. The total cost usually consists of:
| Cost part | What is included |
|---|---|
| Cremation | The cremation itself at the crematorium |
| Transport | Transport of the deceased to the morgue and crematorium |
| Coffin and preparation | A cremation coffin, preparation of the deceased |
| Ceremony (optional) | A farewell ceremony before the cremation |
| Urn | An urn for the ashes; burial or storage as chosen |
Part of the cost can be covered by the state benefit — for how to claim it, see the funeral benefit section. For the overall cost structure, see the pricing page.
Once the urn is received, the family decides what to do next: bury the urn at a cemetery or in a family grave, place it in a columbarium or keep it for a time. We will explain the options and documents when you contact us — and help you choose and arrange everything.
We handle cremation in full — from documents to the handover of the urn:
