Bringing your loved one back home safely and quickly is a priority to us.
Our inbound repatriation services will include travel arrangements (tickets sold separately) for the family to the country where death has occurred. We will then facilitate the repatriation of the deceased to be returned home, by being in close contact with local authorities, overseas undertakers and hospitals if necessary.
Upon the return of the deceased back home, our professional funeral planning team will assist to arrange a funeral wake or memorial service for the deceased.

Procedures
Engage us
While it is possible to handle the repatriation process by yourself, it is an arduous task. Permits will be required to be endorsed, translations of death certificates and clearances from relevant authorities will require a professional team – one that we can provide.
Here are the prices of our Repatriation packages.
Once you have engaged us, we will be assisting you with the following.
1. Advice and guide you on the selection of an overseas undertaker
