Who it is for

Who we work with

Funeral directors in Europe

Repatriation to Moldova: we collect in our own vehicle, deal with the paperwork and see everything through to the burial.

Ukraine, Romania and the CIS

Transit through Moldova or transport on your route: receiving the deceased, border formalities, mortuary care and delivery to the destination.

Regional firms in Moldova

Mortuary, chapel of rest, vehicles and funeral goods when you are short of capacity or the case is outside your district.

Agents and intermediaries

We work at partner rates, and the family only ever sees the estimate you have agreed with us.

How it works

Handing a case over to us

A single message with the details of the deceased, the route and the date is all we need. We take it from there and keep you informed.

  1. You send an enquiry

    Details of the deceased, the route and the expected date. A WhatsApp message or an email will do.

  2. We agree the estimate

    Within the hour we send the cost at partner rates and confirm timings. No extra charges along the way.

  3. We handle it locally

    We receive the deceased, deal with the paperwork and prepare the chapel of rest and the burial, or send the deceased on to the next stage of the route.

  4. We close the case

    You receive photos and confirmation at every stage, followed by the invoice and closing documents.

What we do

What we do in Moldova

  • Transit Holding and handover to the next carrier

Terms

How we work together

Partner rates

Funeral directors and agents who work with us regularly have a separate price list. Volume terms are agreed individually and set out in the contract.

A reply within the hour

During working hours you will have our estimate within the hour. At night and at weekends our 24-hour line takes the enquiry and a funeral director responds straight away.

We deal with the paperwork

We obtain the death notice (avizier), the death certificate from ASP and cemetery permits under power of attorney, so you never have to correspond with the Moldovan authorities yourself.

Reports at every stage

We send photos and confirmation of each stage: receiving, preparation, the viewing, the burial or dispatch. The family has one source of information: you.

Our own transport

Our own fleet We carry out every journey

The refrigerated vehicle and hearses belong to the company, and the drivers are our own staff. Between Moldova and Europe we run our own journeys and never hand the deceased over to another carrier.

Help for partners We can take on the transport

If you have no vehicle or permits for the journey, we carry out the transport for you: collection from the address, paperwork en route and delivery to the destination.

What to send us

These five details are enough for us to send an estimate and timings.

  1. The deceased Full name, date and place of death, nationality
  2. Route Collection point, destination and mortuary address
  3. Documents Death certificate or equivalent, passport
  4. Dates When the deceased can be released and the preferred arrival date
  5. Contact Phone or WhatsApp of the person handling the case on your side
