Assistance in organizing the repatriation of deceased persons

Losing a loved one is an extremely difficult experience, even if all formalities can be completed on the spot. However, the situation becomes much more demanding when death occurs abroad and bringing the body to Poland involves complicated procedures. The need to prepare appropriate documentation, meet international legal requirements and coordinate transport makes it worth entrusting these activities to a professional funeral company. Experience and specialist knowledge in the international transport of bodies are crucial to carrying out the entire procedure efficiently, safely and in accordance with regulations.

Repatriation of remains from abroad

Repatriation of a body is the most frequently chosen form of bringing a deceased person to the country, enabling decisions to be made regarding embalming, cremation or a possible re-autopsy by the competent authorities. The service is provided using our certified caravans, adapted to cover long routes and ensuring full safety and appropriate transport conditions. We offer specialized transport coffins, fully compliant with international requirements for the transport of deceased persons. We operate efficiently, professionally and with the utmost attention to every stage of the procedure.

Cremation and transport of an urn with ashes from abroad

Cremation carried out abroad and then transport of the urn with the ashes is becoming an increasingly popular form of repatriation. This solution is usually much more economical than transporting the body, mainly due to the lower weight and dimensions of the urn. However, it should be remembered that in some countries, a more financially advantageous option may be to bring the body to Poland and cremate it on site. Our office staff will help you arrange all the details.

Exhumation of the deceased abroad

Our company also offers comprehensive body exhumation services all over the world. It is a process that requires particular precision and the fulfillment of numerous, often complex legal requirements, and in some countries it is carried out only at certain times of the year. We organize the repatriation of both exhumed remains and cremation of remains abroad, and then transport of the urn with ashes to the country

Long-distance transport (air)

In the case of transports carried out over very long distances - for example from America, Africa or southern Europe - the repatriation procedure is carried out via specialized air carriers. This solution ensures the entire operation is quick and economical, especially in the case of transporting an urn with ashes, where costs are significantly lower and documentation requirements remain clear and simple. In many situations, the urn can be transported by the family itself, treating it as part of hand luggage. Thanks to our wide network of contacts, we are able to organize air transport regardless of the country where the death occurred.
