Ask your own question
Why does cremation take place in Romania rather than Moldova?
There is no working crematorium in the Republic of Moldova, so cremation is only possible abroad.
The crematorium in Oradea is inside the EU and issues European-format documents, which helps if the urn later needs to go to another European country.

How does Oradea differ from Odesa?
Oradea is further away, about 700 km from Chișinău against roughly 180 km to Odesa, so transport takes longer and costs more.
In return you get a modern crematorium, documents to EU standards and a wider choice of urns.
