Practical things

The Finnish Cremation Foundation

Hietaniemi Crematorium

Booking:

It is easiest to turn to a funeral home, they have experience with the necessary documents, and can guide you on practical matters.

Ringing of bells:

Bells can be rung before the blessing and after the blessing. Ringing the bells is optional.

Parking lots:

Parking spaces can be found along the street.

Event duration:

One hour has been reserved for the occasion. If a large number of escorts are expected, it may be necessary to book two consecutive times.

Casket:

We recommend using a casket suitable for cremation. The funeral home assists in the selection.

Collecting the urn:

Since there is limited space, we hope that the collection of the urn will take place as soon as possible. The urn must be buried within one year of the cremation date.
