Repatriation
When a death happens far from home — or when home itself is elsewhere — the journey is its own kind of farewell. We have done this many times, and we will keep you steady through every step.
Bringing someone home to the UK
We coordinate with funeral directors abroad, the local authorities, and the airline. We obtain the consular paperwork, the embalming certificate where required, and a UK death certificate registration on arrival.
Sending a loved one abroad
For families wanting to bury or cremate overseas, we arrange the international shipping, the documentation required by the receiving country, and a sealed coffin or urn as needed.
“A long journey deserves a careful one. We do not rush this.”
Documents and timelines
Repatriation usually takes 7–14 days, depending on the country. We will tell you the realistic timeline upfront, and update you at every stage.
Costs
Repatriation costs depend on distance, embalming requirements, and airline fees. We provide a clear, written quote before any work begins, and we can liaise with travel insurance if it applies.
