Planning for Lithuania

Care from the first call to the receiving handoff.

Families planning burial in Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipeda, or a smaller municipality should identify the local funeral home and burial location before confirming transport. Ask whether the receiving provider will collect at arrival, arrange onward travel, and coordinate the cemetery. The church or ceremony location may require its own appointment separate from the cemetery schedule.

Horizon Funeral Home in Brooklyn helps families organize New York care and the proposed journey with the responsible authorities, carrier, and receiving funeral professional. We start with the actual destination and your family's wishes, then confirm what the arrangement requires.

Documents & approvals

Confirm the process for this destination.

Contact the Lithuanian consular office responsible for the case to confirm the current transport documentation. Provide the passport name and any Lithuanian spelling, and clarify the intended use of each certified death record before requesting translation or authentication.

We verify the applicable preparation, records, carrier acceptance, and receiving arrangements for the individual case. Requirements can change; a destination guide is a planning aid, not a transport authorization.

Family & faith

Make room for the farewell you want.

Share the family's wishes for a Catholic, Orthodox, other religious, or secular farewell, including viewing and prayers. If the family wants ceremonies in both Brooklyn and Lithuania, the director and receiving provider can discuss how preparation and timing affect each gathering.

Relatives who cannot attend can ask about online viewing arrangements. We discuss the venue, family permissions, and available connection before confirming that service.

What happens next

One coordinated plan.

01

Care & family instructions

We discuss authorization, release, transfer into care, the final destination, and any farewell before departure.

02

Records & receiving review

The director coordinates the applicable document questions, preparation, carrier conditions, and destination provider's acceptance.

03

Confirmed journey & handoff

Once the required parties accept the arrangement, we coordinate transportation and keep the designated family contact informed.

Keep funeral announcements and family travel provisional until the full arrangement is confirmed.

Questions families ask

Planning transportation to Lithuania.

Review the planning checklist

You can discuss availability, but a firm date should account for document completion, carrier acceptance, and the receiving funeral home's schedule. Tell the church and cemetery that the journey is still being arranged until those details are confirmed.
