Cremation in Poland for Ukrainians
Losing a loved one is always hard. And when it happens abroad, in Poland, 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 picking up 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 mandate remotely — through electronic services, without the need to travel to Poland.
We pick up the body from the place of death, take care of the preparation — washing, dressing, placing in the coffin. We obtain the 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 Poland for Ukrainian citizens is from 3,800 to 4,800 euros. This amount includes transportation of the body within Poland, conducting the cremation, processing all documents, 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 family wishes — for example, an individual urn, religious service, or musical accompaniment. All this is discussed in advance and fixed before starting work. No unforeseen expenses after the agreements are signed.
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 a criminal proceeding, the timelines may be longer — due to the need for forensic examination and obtaining the appropriate permits.
In which cities do we operate
Vespera organizes cremations in all cities of Poland: Warsaw, Kraków, Wrocław, Poznań, Łódź, Gdańsk, Szczecin, Bydgoszcz, Lublin, Katowice, Białystok, Częstochowa, Radom, Sosnowiec, Toruń, and hundreds of smaller cities.
Can one say goodbye before cremation
Yes. The family has the opportunity to hold a farewell ceremony before the cremation — in a special room of the morgue or ritual facility. This service is paid separately and organized at your request.
If needed, the deceased can be dressed — provide us with clothing, or we can help with the selection.
Transporting the urn with ashes to Ukraine
For transporting ashes across the border, we will prepare a complete set of documents: medical certificate of death, embossed certificate, certificate of cremation, permit from the sanitary and epidemiological service, certificate of absence of foreign insertion, and consular document.
All formalities are our concern. You just wait at home.
