Summary/Abstract: Although the Romanian legislator managed to finalize the “Law on cemeteries, human crematoriums and funeral services" in 2014, we had to wait more than two years for the approval of the "Technical and Health Rules regarding the funeral services, burial, cremation, transport, exhumation and reburial of human corpses, cemeteries, human crematoriums, and also the professional criteria that must be met by the providers of funeral services". As a novelty, these detailed rules on the application of Law no. 112/2014 introduced in the Romanian legal framework the notion of thanatopraxy. Consequently, for a better understanding of this new concept, this article aims to answer prima facie a few key questions such as what is thanatopraxy, who can perform it and where can it be performed, without overlooking its impact on the deceased’s estate.In December 2016, certain amendments were made to several regulations, such as: the Fiscal Code, the Fiscal Procedure Code and Law no. 290/2004 on the criminal record. Moreover, the following regulation was published in December: the Government Emergency Ordinance no. 95/2016 regarding the adjournment of certain time-limits, as well as the establishment of certain measures needed for the preparation of the enforcement of certain provisions of the Code of civil procedure.
