FUNERALS
Having gained years of experience in this area of expertise, we assume responsibility for both organising ceremonies/memorials all over Greece and for sending the body of the deceased anywhere worldwide. The funeral is arranged according to your religious beliefs, sensational preferences and financial capacity. We ensure that our services as a whole are of the highest quality, professionalism and punctuality. Our goal is to correctly execute every last detail, so we are always present during each ceremony in order to support and guide you and your guests.
PUBLIC BENEFIT INSTITUTIONS-DONATIONS
Instead of wreaths there is the choice of supporting whichever Cause you wish. After contacting the desired Foundation, either a representative comes for donations on the site of the ceremony or we receive a ballot box where donations are collected and after the ceremony the Office will give it to the family.
CEREMONIAL ORGANIZATION
Your communication with us is followed by a meeting between you and us, so as for you to provide you all the necessary information, in order to decide the pattern of the ceremony (place, day, hour etc.). We are always present at the time of the ceremony, for guidance and support of both you and the other attendants. We offer to you the book of condolences and provide thanking cards on behalf of the family for everyone who signs the condolences book. This in turn saves you the trouble of this process later. Moreover, we give away roses, disposable gloves for sanitation reasons and aromatic hygienic wipes for the custom of throwing flowers and soil during the burial.
ENZYME
ENZISALM is a powder biological specimen with a biodegrading function, that has been studied specifically to activate or restore the mineralization processes. Thanks to its composition including micro organisms with a wide action spectrum together with elements with feeding function, it is able, when in some specific conditions such phenomena are slowed or stopped, to restore the decomposition skeleton forming processes, promoting, addressing and controlling the metabolizing process of the organic material. It favours and speeds up the decay of the toxins that have developed by the corpse decomposition. Micro organisms are bio-fixed on mineral supports able to capture and absorb the bad smelling gases. The presence of trace elements inside the cavities of the micro supports favours the growth and the activity of micro organisms.
MEMORIALS
Memorials most commonly take place 9 days, 40 days, a year, and three years following the death date and every other time the family wishes. We assume responsibility for preparing and executing memorials in parishes, in churches near cemeteries or besides the grave. Our cooperation with the best professionals in the domain of memorial services, such as the koliva platters and the packages of edible products, ensures not only the highest quality, but also offers a wide variety of relevant options.
BUREAUCRATIC ACTIONS
After the funeral many bureaucratic processes have to be arranged i.e. settlement of the insurance fund, collection of the funeral expenses, termination of the pension or other Organizations. In an effort to be by your side in the best possible way, we can give you all the relevant information in order to take care of these issues easily, or we can carry out all these bureaucratic processes, simply by an official authorization by one of the deceased’s closest relatives.

Repatriation is the transportation of the remains of a foreign citizen or native to his homeland and the reception of the remains of a Greek citizen, who has deceased abroad.
