Practical and bureaucratic management for the cremation ritual in Bari and its province

The staff of Onoranze Funebri San Giuseppe operate throughout the province of Bari to offer support to those who, for personal and 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 inhumation. The Italian State regulates the procedure in a very detailed manner, which could however be complicated to follow for those who do not work in the sector.

A practice performed since ancient times

The cremation ritual has been performed since ancient times, but the practice in Italy has become increasingly widespread since the Catholic Church abolished the 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 expresses the official wish to be cremated after death.
  • The second possibility is to have drawn up a holographic will, written by the person in question, dated and signed.
  • The third case instead requires registration with a recognized cremation association or company So.Crem, valid throughout the national territory; in this case, a will will not be necessary.
