Cremation in Lithuania for Ukrainians
Losing a loved one is always hard. And when it happens abroad, in Lithuania, the pain is compounded by confusion: what to do, where to turn, how to properly arrange everything?
Vespera takes care of everything — from collecting the body to delivering the urn with the 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 authorization remotely — through electronic services, without the need to travel to Lithuania.
We collect the body from the place of death, take care of the preparation — bathing, dressing, placing in the coffin. We obtain the medical certificate, register the death, and conduct the cremation in 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 Lithuania for Ukrainian citizens ranges from 3,800 to 4,800 euros. This amount includes transportation of the body within Lithuania, conducting the cremation, processing all documents, a standard urn, interaction with the consulate, and delivery of the ashes to Ukraine.
The final price depends on the region, farewell format, and additional family wishes — for example, an individual urn, religious service, or musical accompaniment. All this is discussed in advance and fixed before work begins. No unforeseen expenses after signing agreements.
How long does cremation take?
In standard cases, it takes from 5 to 7 days considering the processing 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 examination and obtaining the relevant permits.
In which cities do we operate?
Vespera organizes cremations in all cities of Lithuania: Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipėda, Šiauliai, Panevėžys, Alytus, Marijampolė, Mažeikiai, Jonava, Utena, Kėdainiai, Telšiai, Visaginas, Tauragė, Ukmergė, 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 room at the morgue or ritual facility. This service is charged separately and organized at your request.
If needed, the deceased can be dressed — you can provide us with clothing, or we will help with the selection.
Transporting the urn with ashes to Ukraine
For transporting the ashes across the border, we will prepare a full package of documents: a medical certificate of death, a certified death certificate, a cremation certificate, a permit from the sanitary and epidemiological service, a certificate of absence of foreign contributions, and a consular document.
All formalities are our concern. You just wait at home.
