Cremation in Germany for Ukrainians
Losing a loved one is always hard. When it happens abroad, in Germany, 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 removal of the body to delivering the urn with ashes to your home in Ukraine.
How it works
After your call, we explain each step and coordinate all the details. Then you sign the power of attorney remotely — via electronic services, without the need to travel to Germany.
We pick up the body from the place of death, take care of the preparation — washing, dressing, placing in the coffin. We obtain a medical certificate, register the death, and conduct the 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 Germany for Ukrainian citizens is from 3,800 to 4,800 euros. This amount includes the transportation of the body within Germany, conducting the cremation, preparing all the documents, a standard urn, interaction with the consulate, and delivery of the ashes to Ukraine.
The final price depends on the region, the format of farewell, and additional wishes of the family — for example, an individual urn, religious service, or musical accompaniment. All of this is 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, taking into account the completion of all documents. If the death is related to a traffic accident or criminal proceedings, the timeframes 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 Germany: Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Cologne, Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Düsseldorf, Leipzig, Dortmund, Essen, Bremen, Dresden, Hanover, Nuremberg, Duisburg, and hundreds of smaller cities.
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 for separately and is organized at your request.
If needed, you can dress the deceased — give us the clothes, or we will help you choose.
Transporting the urn with ashes to Ukraine
For transporting the ashes across the border, we will prepare a complete package of documents: a medical certificate of death, a notarized death certificate, a cremation certificate, a permit from the sanitary and epidemiological service, a certificate of absence of foreign contents, and a consular document.
All formalities are our concern. You just wait at home.
