How the transport works
An international repatriation is far more than the transport itself. Every destination country has its own legal requirements, documentation duties and hygiene rules.
RITUAL-SERVICE24 takes care of:
In this way we make sure the deceased is brought home quickly, with dignity, and in full compliance with the law.
We arrange the worldwide transport of deceased persons in a zinc coffin in line with international regulations. From obtaining the documents to coordinating the flight, we handle the entire process.
After a cremation we take on the complete, legally sound transport of the urn to any country. We clarify the entry rules, the documents and the transport requirements.
How long a repatriation takes depends on the destination country and on what the authorities require. Within Europe it is often possible within a few days. For countries outside the EU, additional consular authorisations or special documents may be needed.
Ritual-Service24 coordinates every step as efficiently as possible and keeps you informed about the timeframe.
An international transport of a deceased person or an urn normally requires:
Several copies of the international death certificate
A mortuary passport or transport permit
An embalming certificate (for coffin transports)
Consent from the destination country or its consulate
Depending on the country, further certifications may be required. We obtain and check every document for you.
The cost of an international repatriation is made up of the transport itself, official fees, the preparation of the coffin or urn, and the funeral director's services. The total varies with the destination country and the route.
Ritual-Service24 will prepare a transparent, individual quote for you with no hidden fees.
