About the project
kar.sk is a calm, practical Slovak guide for people who have lost a loved one, and for those who look after a grave and a memory. Step by step, it explains the first hours, the funeral service, the registry office and death certificate, the farewell, offices and benefits, and inheritance proceedings. The texts are general. Official details should be checked with the relevant office, registry or a notary.
The site covers the topics Funeral, Grave and headstone, Flowers and wreaths, Kar and gathering, and Remembrance. There are also guides, for example on condolences, funeral flowers and All Souls' Day. The checklist is remembered by your browser and is not sent anywhere.
The practical part offers funeral bouquets and wreaths, and items for the grave: candles, refills and vases. Prices are taken from shops and you buy directly in the shop. The anniversary reminder sends one e-mail a few days before the day that matters to you. The site also lists the Nezábudka helpline 0800 800 566, free and open around the clock.
