Practical and bureaucratic management for the cremation ritual in Bari and province
Onoranze Funebri San Giuseppe employees operate throughout the province of Bari to offer support to those who, for personal or family reasons, decide to carry out the practice of cremation. An increasingly widespread funeral practice, cremation is requested for both hygienic and spiritual reasons, instead of the traditional burial or interment.
The Italian state regulates the procedure in great detail, but it can be complicated to follow for those not working in the field. Contact funeral directors for advice on the cremation ritual.
A practice performed since ancient times
The ritual of cremation has been performed since ancient times, but the practice in Italy has become increasingly widespread since the Catholic Church lifted its ban in 1963. To proceed with the cremation ritual, the Italian State provides three possibilities:
- The first is a will registered by a notary, in which the deceased person manifests the official will to be cremated after death
- The second possibility is a holographic will, written by the person in question, dated and signed
- The third case involves registration with a recognised cremation association or society So.Crem, which is valid throughout the country; in this case, a will is not necessary
Cremation processing
Ettore and Domenico Fumai, the owners of Onoranze Funebri San Giuseppe, are professionals in the ritual of cremation. Counting on their help, family members will be able to perform this practice on the deceased's will even in the absence of a will and registration with cremation societies.
The State, in fact, provides for the recognition of cremation even if this will is expressed by the majority of the deceased's relatives and relatives.
