Frequently asked questions
When faced with the sudden and unexpected death of a loved one, we ask ourselves what needs to be done.
We are here to advise you.
What to do if your loved one dies?
Show answer
With the representative of the funeral home you will make arrangements about the funeral (classic funeral or an urn funeral) and other services. The representative of the company prepares a power of attorney by virtue of which you authorize the Funeral home Babajić Ltd. to settle all legal matters and other matters regarding transportation and burial of the deceased. If the family decides to bury the deceased in one of the EU countries it is necessary to provide a transit permit by the Slovenian authorities, for non-EU countries it is also necessary to provide other transit permits (depending on the country where the funeral will take place as well as the countries of transit).
The representative of the company will provide you with advice, relieve you of any additional duties, promptly deal with all the formalities and will be at your disposal 24 hours a day to meet all your demands.
What to do in case of death at home?
Show answer
In case of death at home it is necessary to first notify the authorized coroner who then conducts an examination of the deceased person who needs to be prepared for that. This needs to be done within 12 hours, although the coroners try to conduct it within 6-8 hours. Coroners issues the medical certificate of the cause of death right away.
After obtaining this certificate you should contact Funeral home Babajić and we will come and transport the person to coffin accomodation room (or pathology – if autopsy is required).
While waiting for the coroner to come, the family may dress the person or if they wish, wait for the funeral parlour to do that.
