What Should A Funeral Service Do?

Updated: Sep 19, 2023

It is essential to know precisely what a funeral service can do: what it is required to do by law, and what it cannot do. In this way, the deceased person's family will be able to delegate to the funeral home all the bureaucratic procedures and practical tasks necessary for organizing the funeral rite and burial (or cremation).


It is essential to rely on a funeral home that directly carries out all these tasks without relying on intermediaries or subcontracting specific jobs. Funeral services agencies are responsible for handling funeral procedures and for intermediation in the handling of public documents concerning the death of persons, regardless of whether it took place in private homes, rather than in public structures but also as a result of accidental causes.


These service providers take care of the funeral transport and travel practices, of the documentation necessary for the report to the Civil Status Office of the Municipality where the death occurred: the certificates filled in by the attending physician, the subsequent visit of the necropsy doctor if in the funeral service, the preparation documentation useful for transport with burial in another municipality,

The agency is also delegated to define the date and time established for the funeral at the Mortuary Police's municipal office, after having agreed with the family and any celebrant. The same office, based on the type of burial defined and after appropriate verification, will communicate to the municipal cemetery provisions for burial as necessary, will provide the relatives with indications regarding the availability of new concessions, to make the most appropriate choice. Thus, the cemetery rights due to the burial municipality are also paid on behalf of the family members, by the same funeral agency.


In the event of a cremation service, a reservation will be made at the crematorium closest to the place of death, also taking into account the period that elapses for the actual delivery of the ashes to the family.


The Death Reports


The funeral service takes care of the administrative procedures relating to the death report, which must occur within 24 hours of the event at the Civil Status office of the municipality in which the death occurred.


The Body and The Funeral Home


The staff of the funeral service takes care of the cleaning and dressing of the body and the entire preparation of the funeral home. It can be set up at home, in a hospital, or a particular building dedicated to this purpose. Euro Funeral offers its customers the first Funeral Home in Turin, a unique and complete service.


This type of structure is called a Funeral Home: a place dedicated to silence, for those who do not want to set up the funeral home at home or want to avoid doing it in the hospital, a place that is inevitably not very suitable for recollection, for the privacy, for showing respect for emotional exuberance.

The Obituaries and Tickets


The funeral service is responsible for publishing obituaries in local newspapers and printing notices for mortuary posters. The service provider also takes care of the printing of thank-you notes for participation in the funeral and remembrance of the deceased.


Funeral Transport


It must take place no earlier than 24 hours after death funeral service. The coffin must be closed permanently and transported to where the funeral will be celebrated. Transport can only be carried out by authorized personnel and individual vehicles.


The Funeral and Cemetery Practices


These are decidedly complex procedures, in which the intervention of a professional is important to avoid errors, problems in funeral service, and to save the risk of wastage of time, which in this situation become even more unpleasant.


The funeral home takes care of all the administrative procedures for authorizing the transport of the body and the burial or cremation in the cemetery. These are multiple authorizations because they are linked to hygiene and public safety regulations regarding mortuary police. A professional funeral service takes care of all these formalities.
