Funeral arrangements and costs

Responsibility : Ministère de la Justice

For the organization of a funeral, you must take the deceased’s wishes into account and see a funeral director or a crematorium operator. If the deceased did not make funeral arrangements, the next of kin must make the appropriate decisions. As a rule, funeral directors can advise you and arrange all the professional services involved in the actual funeral.

Note
Funeral expenses are paid for by the succession (estate), and not by the person who makes the arrangements.
