Professional Mortuary Services
A crucial stage in the funeral process is the specialized care and preservation of the deceased’s body, which takes place at the mortuary (morgue). Our Funeral Home provides a complete range of professional mortuary services at competitive prices, utilizing our own private, certified facilities as well as cooperating fully with public and hospital morgues.
The preparation of the deceased for the final farewell ceremony occurs entirely within the mortuary environment. This comprehensive preparation ensures that the loved one is presented with dignity for the viewing or closed-casket service. The work includes all essential sanitary-hygienic procedures, dressing, and cosmetic preparation (make-up) to ensure a peaceful appearance. Furthermore, upon the request of the family, we offer professional embalming services to preserve the body for extended viewing or necessary transport.
Beyond preparation, the morgue facilities ensure the secure and appropriate preservation of the body until the moment of the funeral. We facilitate all logistical needs, including the transportation of the deceased to the morgue and subsequently to the cemetery or crematory. We also provide assistance in securing all official documents necessary for burial, obtaining the death certificate, and applying for any available funeral financial aid.
Mortuary Services
Mortuary Storage of the Deceased
The process begins with securing the deceased’s body immediately after the confirmation of death. We arrange for the safe and secure transfer and storage of the body in our certified morgue facility until the time of the farewell ceremony or cremation, ensuring the proper preservation and compliance with all health regulations.
Sanitary Care and Preparation for Viewing
This crucial preparation involves all essential sanitary-hygienic procedures necessary to respectfully cleanse and prepare the deceased. This step is fundamental to ensuring the dignity of the body before any viewing or transfer to the cremation facility, adhering strictly to professional standards.
Dressing, Casketing, and Cosmetic Preparation
We respectfully dress the deceased in the clothing provided by the family, apply professional cosmetic preparation (make-up) to restore a peaceful appearance, and carefully place the body into the chosen casket or cremation container, finalizing the presentation for the last farewell.
Embalming
Embalming is an optional procedure requested by the family, primarily used to preserve the body temporarily. It is often necessary when there is a longer period planned before the farewell ceremony, or if the deceased is being transported internationally before the final disposition (burial or cremation).
