CREMATION

Funeral services | KOPERSKI (2)

We offer you a cremation service. Cremation of the body of a deceased person is an alternative to the classic burial, but the funeral can take place in a traditional way. Cremation is available in two versions: in the presence of the family or not. The burial ceremony does not differ from the one present at a traditional burial of a coffin with a body. The ceremony related to the burial of a cremated body can take place at the Farewell Chapel, at a church or a cemetery.

Wishing to follow new trends in burial forms, we respond to your expectations. Therefore, we offer cremation of the body of a deceased person. We complete all formalities related to this process. Before cremation we can organise a farewell of the deceased person at our funeral home. The vast assortment of utensils includes cremation coffins and a broad range of urns.

Our funeral home guarantees reliability and required discipline in performing identification and the entire cremation process.

FUNERAL CEREMONIES

In accordance with the Polish tradition, funeral is organised according to an etiquette that covers numerous activities related to the preparation of the body, farewell and burial of a deceased person at a cemetery.
You can order:

  • storage of the body in a cooling unit until the funeral, washing and dressing up the deceased person,
  • thanato-cosmetics,
  • preparation of non-standard, custom coffin dimensions,
  • farewell at the funeral home, cremation,
  • selection of a coffin, urn and funeral utensils,
  • comprehensive funeral setting,
  • selection of a burial plot at a cemetery,
  • consolation.

Depending on the deceased person’s family request, an appropriate ceremony and setting is selected. Most funeral ceremonies that we organise are religious, catholic ceremonies with a funeral mass and a procession accompanying the deceased person to a parish church. We also undertake the organisation of state funerals, funerals requiring ceremonial military company, secular funerals and funerals following the principles of other religions.
