What to do in case of death in Naples

Knowing how to behave in the first moments of a bereavement can be essential to best deal with this difficult experience.

With a consistently professional and respectful approach, we provide complete funeral services, carefully designed to meet the needs of the families and friends of the deceased.

Our funeral home takes care of every single aspect of the funeral organisation with care. With seriousness and discretion, we manage every phase of the funeral rite, from the dressing of the body to the preparation of the chapel of rest and floral decorations, as well as the handling of cemetery and administrative practices and the publication of obituaries.

We offer cremation and burial services, posting of mourning notices, thank-you notes, and invitations, as well as funeral transportation both nationally and internationally. We also take care of all necessary bureaucratic procedures, including the issuing of the mortuary passport for the transfer of the body outside of Italy.

Our priority is to guarantee a complete and respectful service during such a delicate moment.

In Case of Death at Home

If the death occurred at home, it is advisable not to proceed with dressing and arranging the body for health reasons. These operations should be carried out by specialised personnel from the funeral agency in Naples, who can also provide thanatoesthetic treatment and take care of transferring the body to the Funeral Home.

Family members must contact the attending physician to complete the necessary documents, which will be provided by the agency staff. These documents will be used to fill out the ISTAT form and the death notice. Additionally, it is essential to report the death to the Civil Registry Office of the municipality where it occurred. The Health Office will then be responsible for sending a coroner to certify the death.

In Case of Death Not at Home

If the death occurs in a hospital or nursing home, the health management will be responsible for issuing the ISTAT card and the death notice. At this point, the family must visit the funeral agency to decide whether to leave the body in the current location or transfer it to the Funeral Home.

If the death occurs abroad, it is essential for family members to immediately inform the Consulate General or the Italian Embassy to obtain authorisation for the repatriation of the body. The family will need to contact a funeral home, which will handle all procedures in the country where the death occurred. Together with the family, the type of transport for the repatriation of the body will be determined, whether by plane, hearse, or sea.
