Passing Away in the Italy6

There are two very important steps required when a loved one passes away in Italy: notify the authorities within 24 hours and obtain a physician’s declaration of death.

A request for the Death Certificate is done through the local anagrafe (registry office) and can be obtained at the local municipio.

The death should also be reported to the relevant embassy or consulate.

The following information is required when reporting a death:

  • The deceased's full name, date and place of birth, address
  • Required documentation- the deceased’s passport, residence card, death certificate
  • The date and place of death
  • The cause of death

Repatriating Mortal Remains

The repatriation of a body to the home country requires the help of the relevant local embassy or consulate. Consular officials can assist in organizing repatriation and obtaining appropriate documentation. When repatriation of the body is requested, funeral homes or crematoriums in Russia will temporarily hold the remains while arrangements are made.

The cost of repatriation covers transportation and essential documentation, which may include:

  • A certified Copy of the Certificate of Death
  • An embalming certificate (if required by the destination country)
  • A certificate confirming the coffin complies with International Air Transport Association (IATA) regulations.
