VIP Funeral Arrangements in Kyiv
Saying goodbye to a loved one is always a deeply personal and sorrowful moment. When a person whose life was marked by significant achievements passes away, it is important to honour their memory at the appropriate level.
A VIP funeral is not a standard ritual service but a carefully planned, ceremonial event that reflects respect, love, and gratitude for the deceased. Ascension Funeral Bureau assumes full responsibility for organising a VIP funeral, ensuring impeccable execution at every stage and absolute discretion during this difficult time for the family.
What is a VIP funeral and how is it different from a traditional service?
An elite funeral is a comprehensive approach to organising the final journey where every detail matters. Unlike standard ceremonies, a premium-class funeral is defined by a philosophy of exclusivity, maximum personalisation, and flawless service. The goal is to create a unique atmosphere that duly highlights the status, accomplishments, and individuality of the deceased.
The key distinction is the attention to the smallest nuances: from selecting an exclusive coffin made of precious woods to engaging a professional master of ceremonies who leads the service according to a bespoke scenario. VIP ritual services involve only the finest attributes, luxury-class transportation, and the creation of a solemn yet intimate space for farewell.

Exclusive elements of a VIP ceremony
It is the unique touches that turn a funeral into a truly memorable tribute. Elite funerals in Kyiv can include numerous exclusive elements tailored to the family’s wishes.
Luxury transportation
In addition to providing a high-end hearse for the deceased, we arrange comfortable transportation for family members and guests. The funeral procession is formed from business-class cars or Mercedes Sprinter minibuses. If necessary, especially when saying goodbye to public figures, police escort can be arranged.
Master of ceremonies
The funeral master of ceremonies is a key figure at a VIP service. They do more than announce speakers—they design and lead a unique farewell scenario, deliver a heartfelt eulogy based on the life story of the deceased, and coordinate every participant to maintain harmony and timing.
Ceremonial lowering of the coffin (cingulator)
A special mechanism—a ceremonial lift or cingulator—is used to lower the coffin smoothly, silently, and solemnly into the grave. This element adds particular dignity to the burial. The grave can also be decorated with fabric drapery, fir branches, and fresh flowers to create an aesthetically complete resting place.
Live musical accompaniment
Live music at a funeral creates a deeply emotional atmosphere of mourning and bright remembrance. Depending on the family’s wishes, the ceremony may be accompanied by a string quartet, brass band, or solo performance on violin or saxophone. Music helps express feelings that are difficult to convey in words.
Exclusive floristry and attributes
Fresh flower arrangements are an essential part of an elite funeral. Professional florists create bespoke wreaths, floral arches, garlands, and panels for the farewell hall. The exclusive coffin is complemented by refined funeral textiles, and attire is chosen for the deceased to match their style in life.

VIP funeral frequently asked questions (FAQ)
How much time is needed to organise a VIP funeral?
Thanks to our expertise and streamlined processes, we can arrange a premium-class ceremony even within tight deadlines—typically in 1–2 days. However, more time may be required for complex bespoke requests, such as crafting a unique coffin.
Can we order an exclusive coffin that is not in your catalogue?
Of course. We work with top manufacturers and can arrange the production of a coffin or sarcophagus designed specifically for you using materials of your choice.
What is a cingulator, and is it mandatory?
A cingulator is a ceremonial lift that allows the coffin to be lowered smoothly and solemnly. Its use is optional but highly recommended for VIP-level ceremonies because it adds dignity to the process and removes the human factor.
Do you help organise a memorial meal in a premium-class restaurant?
Absolutely. We will select and book a restaurant or banquet hall that matches the status of the event, coordinate a bespoke menu—including fasting dishes—and oversee every detail of the memorial reception.
