Moscow Mortuaries
The pathology departments as well as forensic study laboratories serve to ascertain the cause of death, issue the medical death certificate and keep the decedent until the funeral day.
Besides that the medical staff performs embalming and other sanitary procedures (washing, dressing, make-up, placing into the casket).
The services provided by the mortuaries free of charge include:
- keeping the decedent until the funeral day up to 7 days (in some cases up to 14 days)
- washing
- dressing
- placing in the casket
- carrying the casket to the hall of honor.
The embalming as well as makeup services are provided on the paying basis. The cost of these services depends upon the mortuary and the complexity of the required work and amounts to 8-17 thousand roubles. The services of forensic laboratories are typically more expensive as the decedent usually requires more care to be taken of.
Irrespective of the chosen way of funeral (burial or cremation) the relatives of the decedent are to obtain the medical death certificate (in mortuary) and the official death certificate (in the vital records office).
The medical death certificate is changed for the official death certificate in one of the registry (vital records) offices. The official death certificate is accompanied by the certificate according to form 33 which is required for funeral allowance. The official death certificate is also required for cemetery plot allocation as well as cremation.
