- Medical certificate confirming no infectious disease, where required.
- Funeral director’s coffin-sealing certificate where required.
- Embalming certificate when applicable; some air carriers and destinations require embalming.
Care and transport
We can arrange dressing and embalming, and a private farewell in our UK chapel of rest by prior arrangement.
Our default method is transport in our own specialist funeral vehicles, usually the fastest and most economical option.
Air transportation of the coffin is available on request.
We deliver to the agreed final destination, not merely to the airport.

Frequently asked questions
How long does repatriation take?
There is no fixed timeframe. In exceptional circumstances a transfer can be arranged in three working days; around one week is more usual. If an investigation is under way, it may take two weeks or longer. These are estimates, not guarantees.
Do you only transport the deceased to countries listed on your website?
No. We arrange worldwide repatriation, including destinations not listed on the site, with delivery to the final address agreed with the family.
Can you arrange cremation and send the urn to another country?
Yes. We can arrange cremation, the necessary documents and worldwide delivery of the urn. International delivery is an additional paid service.
Does the family need to travel here in person?
Usually not. We can arrange the process remotely, including documentation, coordination with the authorities and transport. Contact us by telephone, WhatsApp or email. We will advise if original papers or the family’s personal attendance is needed.
What are your working hours?
We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
