My job is to prepare faces for burial: how two friends from Dnipro are changing the farewell culture in Ukraine

Elena Golotsvan and Anna Grishina opened a funeral home in Dnipro

Elena Golotsvan and Anna Grishina have established a unique funeral service enterprise in Dnipro, combining creativity and professionalism. A special place is occupied by Elena’s work as a thanatopractor.

Elena Golotsvan has been working in the field of thanatopraxy for seven years, fulfilling the delicate and important role of restoring the appearance of the deceased before funerals. This process often includes creating special makeup, and in complicated cases, reconstructing missing parts of the face. To ensure the quality preparation of farewell ceremonies, Elena and her partner Anna Grishina decided to open their own funeral home in Dnipro.

The work of a thanatopractor is unique and complex, requiring not only technical skills but also a creative approach. Elena emphasizes that each case is individual, and her task is to help the relatives say goodbye to the deceased in the way they wish. Elena and Anna’s approach combines traditional rituals with modern technologies, creating a soulful atmosphere for farewells.

This funeral home in Dnipro has become not only a professional challenge but also an expression of two friends’ desire to contribute to society by providing high-quality services. Golotsvan says that thanatopraxy helps to see death from another perspective, turning routine into art, which is important not only for the profession but also for people who have to experience loss.
