Cremation in Denmark for Ukrainians
Losing a loved one is always hard. And when it happens abroad, in Denmark, the confusion adds to the pain: what to do, where to turn, how to properly arrange everything?
Vespera takes care of the organization completely — from the body pickup to delivering the urn with ashes to your home in Ukraine.
How it works
After your call, we explain each step and agree on all the details. Then you sign the authorization remotely — through electronic services, without the need to travel to Denmark.
We collect the body from the place of death, take care of preparation — washing, dressing, placing in the coffin. We obtain a death certificate, register the death, and conduct cremation at the appropriate crematorium.
After cremation — we receive the urn and all documents, legalize them, prepare permits for transportation across the border, and deliver the ashes to you in Ukraine.
How much does it cost
The average cost of cremation in Denmark for Ukrainian citizens ranges from 3,800 to 4,800 euros. This amount includes transportation of the body within Denmark, conducting the cremation, processing all documents, standard urn, interaction with the consulate, and delivery of ashes to Ukraine.
The final price depends on the region, the format of farewell, and additional family wishes — for example, a custom urn, religious service, or musical accompaniment. All these details are discussed in advance and fixed before work begins. No unforeseen expenses after signing agreements.
How long does cremation take
In standard cases — from 5 to 7 days considering the processing of all documents. If the death is related to a traffic accident or criminal proceedings, the timelines may be longer — due to the need for forensic autopsy and obtaining the necessary permits.
In which cities do we operate
Vespera organizes cremations in all cities of Denmark: Copenhagen, Aarhus, Odense, Aalborg, Esbjerg, Randers, Kolding, Horsens, Vejle, Roskilde, Viborg, Silkeborg, Næstved, Herlev, Hillerød, and hundreds of smaller towns.
Can you say goodbye before cremation
Yes. The family has the opportunity to hold a farewell ceremony before cremation — in a special morgue hall or ritual room. This service is paid separately and organized at your request.
If necessary, the deceased can be dressed — you may provide us with clothing, or we can assist with selection.
Transporting the urn with ashes to Ukraine
For transporting the ashes across the border, we will prepare a complete package of documents: medical death certificate, official certificate, cremation certificate, permit from the sanitary-epidemiological service, certificate of absence of foreign contents, and consular document.
All formalities are our concern. You just wait at home.
