The regulations concerning the transport of bodies in Poland are governed by law. Usually, the formalities are handled by the funeral home based on a power of attorney granted by the person organizing the funeral. In special cases, such as transport over a distance exceeding 60 kilometers or international transport, additional permits and documents are required.
Exhumation involves the removal of a body or remains of a deceased person from a grave. It is most often carried out for a specific purpose related to forensic examinations or to relocate and reinter the remains in another place.
Spopielenie zwłok nie wzbudza już takich kontrowersji jak kilkanaście lat temu. Coraz więcej osób, szczególnie w dużych miastach decyduje się na tę formę pochówku. Jednak niektórzy zdecydowanie preferują tradycyjny pochówek.
After the passing of a loved one abroad, most families decide to bring them back to Poland to arrange a final farewell and burial in their home country. From a legal standpoint, transporting an urn with ashes is less complicated and involves lower costs than transporting a coffin. However, this does not mean that the transport of an urn with ashes is not subject to specific regulations and procedures.
Caring for the graves of loved ones is not only a sign of respect for the deceased but also a testament to our remembrance and concern. In our busy daily lives, it is easy to overlook how important it is to regularly maintain the resting place—both in terms of its appearance and the spiritual significance of this practice.
Of course. You can count on our assistance with handling the formalities, arranging the transport of your spouse’s body or ashes, and preparing the funeral ceremony.
Remember that the right to repatriate the body belongs to relatives (including spouses) of the deceased up to the fourth degree of kinship. In Poland, the current legal basis for repatriating the body of the deceased to the country is Article 14 of the 1959 Act on Cemeteries and Burial of the Deceased.
We understand that this is a very difficult time for you. We fully empathize, and if you decide to hold the funeral ceremony in Poland and need help with completing the formalities, we will do everything possible to relieve you of the burden of administrative duties.
Cremation of the body in Poland was, until recently, a relatively rare method of burial. Nowadays, more and more people express the wish to cremate their own body or that of their loved ones. This is due to evolving attitudes towards the act of final farewell as well as practical and economic reasons.
