Do I need a registration for the burial of a deceased person. What do you need to bury for free? Preparing for a funeral at the morgue
Any person at least once in his life is faced with the need to organize the funeral of someone from each of us. Each of us must be ready to take on such a difficult mission as burying a person. The procedure and general design scheme for all required documents especially for you in our article.
What to do if a person dies?
In the event of a death of a person, first of all, it is necessary to call doctors. The procedure for the necessary actions when a person dies for natural reasons is as follows: first, try to personally assess the condition of the alleged deceased, and then you should call a doctor from the clinic to establish the fact of death. Any ambulance team also has the authority to die and issue relevant certificates. Attention: if you have even the slightest hope that the person is still alive, when calling doctors, call the reason "the patient is unconscious." In this case ambulance will arrive faster, most likely, experienced specialists will be sent to the call, capable of conducting
Having ascertained medical death, doctors give relatives the appropriate document. Also, doctors are required to organize the delivery of the body to the morgue and call the police. Accordingly, the answer to the question: “What to do immediately after the death of a person?” - such: first of all, call a doctor.
Obtaining a death certificate
Depending on the circumstances under which the person died, the doctor who established the fact of death sends the body to the morgue for storage until burial or forensic examination. Pathological examination is mandatory if the cause of death is murder or bodily harm. In cases of natural death, an autopsy is usually not ordered or discussed with the next of kin of the deceased. The death certificate is issued the next day after the fact of death is established. To obtain it, you must contact the registry office at the place of registration of the deceased with his passport and medical certificate.
But what to do if death occurred under unusual or criminal circumstances, how to bury a person? The course of action in such a situation may change somewhat. Relatives will be able to receive a body for burial and a death certificate only with permission from the prosecutor's office. This document is issued after the cause of death has been established and all necessary studies have been carried out.
Funeral agents and services
Very often, almost simultaneously with the doctors called to acknowledge the fact of death, funeral workers arrive. Such ritual agents are often called "black" and openly scolded for high prices and excessive intrusiveness. It's hard to keep your cool right after the death of a loved one, but still try to be as calm as possible. You don't have to agree to an agency employee's suggestions just because they've already knocked on your door. Moreover, you can simply not start negotiations with a specialist whom you did not call.
Do I need the help of specialized agencies in organizing a funeral? This is an individual question. Firms operating in this area can really take on all the mournful chores. Only their services will have to be paid separately. If you want to avoid unnecessary expenses and you have enough strength to do everything yourself, you can do without cooperation with funeral companies. We hope that the instructions for the first actions when a person died, and the tips for organizing a funeral, collected in our article, will help you with this.
Organization of the burial
Find the strength in yourself to notify all your closest ones about the death of a person as soon as possible. You should promptly contact relatives from other cities or who are on business trips. The organization of the funeral begins with the choice of the method of burial and the acquisition of a plot in the cemetery / place in the columbarium. This should be done as soon as the day and time of the issuance of the body becomes known. The issue of conducting a variety of funeral rites should be delicately discussed with the next of kin of the deceased. If you are planning to organize a funeral according to Christian traditions, you can contact the church directly or a specific priest with the question: “How to bury a person?”
The order of actions on the day of farewell is better to paint for yourself on paper. In advance, it is necessary to prepare clothes for the deceased and take them to the morgue. There, if desired, you can order mummification and make-up services. A coffin and the necessary ritual accessories are purchased separately, you should also take care of organizing the transportation of the deceased and ordering transport for the funeral. According to old traditions, the deceased should spend the night in his house or church. Today, many people refuse to perform such rites and, having taken the deceased from the morgue, they are taken to the funeral service in the temple or immediately to the cemetery / crematorium.
Do I need to organize a memorial service?
Planning a farewell to the deceased should be based on the characteristics of the current situation and the traditions familiar to your family. Try to decide at the initial stages of organizing the funeral how many people will accompany the deceased on their last journey. In such a situation, it is not customary to persistently invite or forbid anyone to come. The relatives of the deceased and acquaintances are informed about the date and time of the funeral. It is also appropriate to notify colleagues at work. In our country, it is customary to arrange a wake. This is a dinner organized at the deceased's home or café/restaurant immediately after burial. During the meal, the deceased is commemorated in every possible way and a number of rituals are performed. It is not accepted to refuse completely. In the company of several close relatives, it would be more appropriate to arrange a symbolic commemoration. For example, just have lunch together, without organizing a magnificent many-hour feast and performing only the most important ceremonies.
How to bury a person: the procedure in Moscow for receiving social benefits
Immediately after the death of a close relative, few people think about the financial side of the issue. And yet, within six months after these events, the person who organized the funeral must apply for this payment. This payment is made by the employing organization for employed persons, the Pension Fund for pensioners or social protection authorities for the unemployed and minors. If a soldier or law enforcement officer dies, relatives will not have to think about how to bury a person at all. The procedure in this case changes, and the organization of the funeral should begin with an appeal to the department where the deceased served / was employed. To receive compensation for burial in the event of the death of civilians, you should contact the appropriate organization with the collected package of documents. You can apply for an allowance with a death certificate, a work book and an applicant's passport in your hands.
The death of people close to us is always a huge loss. And it happens that a person dies far from his home at a great distance, but even during his lifetime he wants to have a funeral in another city - in his homeland, where he lived most of his life or his youth and find eternal peace there.
It is extremely difficult to fulfill these wills and bury them in another city, since transportation of this kind will take a lot of time and effort. And relatives and relatives are faced with a difficult task, because sometimes it is required to transport the deceased to another city within a certain time frame and, in this case, the help that the ritual service can provide is urgently needed. This type of transportation is called cargo 200.
There is also the possibility to conclude an agreement with a ritual service during a person's lifetime. If the will is written in advance, then the organization will take on all the responsibilities and it will not be difficult to transport the deceased to another city, while saving a lot of time, which is always lacking when organizing a funeral. However, with a person’s oral dying wish to be buried in another city, the order is considered by the funeral service only if the deceased has relatives of any close people in this city, since it will allow them to regularly visit the grave of the deceased in the future, constantly caring for it.
But, first of all, it is necessary to prepare and execute a number of documents for the transportation of the deceased to another city. First, a stamped death certificate is required. It is in accordance with this paper that the further organization of the funeral takes place. It is possible to obtain it in the registry offices assigned to the place of death or last registration of a person, or to the institution that issued a conclusion on the death of this person. To obtain a stamp certificate of death of a person in the registry office, it is required to provide the following list of documents: the passport of the deceased, or obtain an extract from the house register at the last place of residence, in the absence of a passport, a death certificate certified by a medical institution, as well as a passport of the person who filed in registry office application. It should be noted that in the registry office there is the possibility of obtaining compensation for burial, and this will reduce the cost of funerals in general. The transportation of the deceased to another city will also require the provision of a certificate of epidemiological environment (SES), which the Sanepidnadzor is obliged to issue, and the city ritual service must record the absence of foreign objects by issuing the corresponding document - a certificate.
In the event that the transportation of the deceased to another city is associated with international transportation, then the formal process will be somewhat more complicated. From the embassy of the country to which the delivery will be made, a permit and an appropriate legalization stamp will be required. Mandatory translation of all accompanying documents is also required, including customs declarations and invoices in the language of the host country.
To organize a funeral in another city, you also need to decide on the method of transportation. There are options for transporting the deceased to another city by air, rail, or by road. Each method has its own characteristics, which must be taken into account when choosing the transportation of the deceased to another city.
Air transportation is considered to be the fastest way to transport cargo 200 . In the case when the time for preparing and holding a funeral is extremely limited, you should stop there, but you should take care in advance to purchase a special zinc container and a box for it. One of the conditions for air transportation is the presence of a filled space between the zinc container and the box (sawdust or peat will do). IN currently there are special coffins with a zinc interior, which is also hermetically sealed. Upon arrival, the box is opened by "zincification" and the body can be removed. This method does not require the creation of any additional storage conditions. If you choose this method, you must remember that the required documents for the transportation of the deceased should be provided to the airline in advance - best of all, six hours before the flight itself. However, the transportation of a coffin by plane is quite expensive and, on average, starts from 30,000 rubles.
If a more economical option is required, but it is necessary to meet a tight deadline, then there is the possibility of transporting the body by rail. In this case, again you need a zinc container and, in addition to this, you need to make sure that there is a freight car on the train itself. When transporting by rail, as with air transportation, it must be taken into account that not every train or plane will take such a load, and also provide for how the body will be delivered to and from the station upon arrival.
If the location of the air and railway station is not the most suitable, or the distance for transportation is insignificant, then it would be better to choose for transportation automobile transport. There is no need to embalm the body or purchase a special zinc box, it will be enough to have ready-made documents for the deceased, indicated above. This method is economical and simple, but may require additional time costs. Transportation is carried out on a specially equipped car and will allow the body to be transported without transfers in one car to the final destination. However, it should be noted that it is usually required to have a person accompanying this cargo in the car, which is associated with additional difficulties that should be taken into account in advance.
Regardless of which method of the above is chosen, there are a number of recommendations that should be considered in any case. It is necessary to decide in advance on the choice of the funeral service, which organizes the entire process, or with the person who will meet and escort the cargo to the transport, informing the funeral service of its data and indicating them in the relevant documents. It is also necessary to determine the persons who will unload and load the body into the transport. And finally, it should be remembered that various unforeseen situations associated with a time delay can always arise on the road.
If a person has died, but his relatives do not have the means for burial, then in some cases a free funeral is possible at the expense of the state. Such ritual services are called social.
However, for the right to a free burial to arise, the deceased must belong to certain categories of citizens.
