Kroupová, Michaela ; Pikola, Pavel (advisor) ; Jaromír, Jaromír (referee)
This thesis deals with the issue of inheritance procedure, and is focused on selected issues of expenses in legal theory and practice. The most notable changes in inheritance law became effective with the new Civil Code on January 1st 2014. A very important amendment to the funeral services law is in the process of approval at the moment.
Death is an integral part of everyone´s life. Everyone will die one day, we should think about the last farewell. Inheritance procedure is a very extensive and complex process. In case there is no one willing to prepare the funeral, the so called "social funeral" is organized by the municipality where the person died. The body is usually cremated and placed at the nearest appointed place. In some cases the municipality keeps the urns
at the office in order to save costs. The funeral is organized at the lowest cost possible.
The analytical part is focused on the "social funerals" and related expenses in specified cities of the Czech republic - Český Krumluv, Říčany and Šternberk. Afterwards, the number and costs of social funerals in selected districts of Prague is analyzed. Unfortunately not in all
of them, because some districts did not provide the data. The social funeral is not only for the case when the bereaved do not have the means, but also for the case when the family refuses to prepare the funeral for other reasons. One other option for people without financial resources could be self-organized funeral - without the assistance of a funeral service. Self-organized funerals are a very controversial topic. The funeral services of course refuse them, because it would reduce their business opportunities.
