Obtaining documentation
The In Memoriam funeral company in Zagreb provides comprehensive services for organizing exhumations and the transfer of remains. Drawing on our experience, we carry out this sensitive process professionally and in full compliance with all legal and sanitary regulations of the Republic of Croatia.
When is an exhumation performed?
Transfer of the deceased: When the family wishes to relocate remains to a different family grave or another cemetery (within Croatia or abroad).
Deepening the grave: To create space for new burials within an existing grave site.
Legal timeframes: Please note that exhumation may take place 15 years after burial in an earthen grave, or 30 years in the case of a built tomb, provided all sanitary requirements are met.
What our service includes:
- Obtaining permits: We take over the complete administration – from submitting a request to the cemetery administration to obtaining sanitary permits for exhumation and transport.
- Specialized equipment: We provide the prescribed tin boxes and transport cases necessary for safe and dignified transportation.
- Transportation to any destination: We transport exhumed remains with specialized vehicles to any cemetery in Croatia or abroad (with the preparation of a funeral certificate).
- Cremation of exhumed remains.
- Our employees coordinate the work with grave registers and sanitary inspection, ensuring that the entire procedure is carried out discreetly and with maximum respect for the deceased.
