SUPPORT ON THE DAY OF THE FUNERAL
Gravediggers, coffin bearers and gravesite preparation
◇We organise the work needed at the cemetery on the day of the funeral: preparing and decorating the grave with flowers, carrying the coffin and tidying the site after burial. We agree the scope according to the gravesite, burial method and ceremony.
Arranging gravediggers
We coordinate the digging, filling and initial tidying of the grave. We consider the cemetery, whether the burial is in a new or existing family plot, and the planned date and time of the ceremony.
We agree what work is possible with the cemetery administration and service providers. For an existing plot, we discuss its condition, access and any additional preparation in advance.
Coffin bearers for the ceremony
We arrange coffin bearers when the deceased is taken from the funeral hall and at the cemetery. We coordinate carrying with the arrival of transport and the ceremony time, so the family does not have to organise this work.
Please tell us in advance about stairs, narrow passages, a longer distance to the grave or other site conditions. This helps us arrange the right number of people and plan the work.
Preparing the gravesite for burial
We help arrange preparation before the ceremony and the agreed work after burial. For an urn burial, we discuss the scope separately according to the plot and burial method.
If the plot has stone slabs or other structures, we assess in advance whether additional specialists are needed. Their availability, price and schedule are agreed separately.
How the work is arranged
- Tell us which cemetery you have chosen, the planned burial date, and whether the burial will be in a coffin or an urn.
- Share what you know about the plot and its condition. If possible, send a photograph.
- We will discuss what work is possible, any approvals needed and the price.
- We will include the agreed work in the overall funeral schedule.
What affects the price
The price depends on the cemetery location, the condition of the plot, the scope of work, the number of bearers needed and any additional preparation or decoration. We will explain what the quote includes and what needs to be arranged separately.
