When you need to repatriate a body belonging to a loved one, our Repatriation Funeral Services make the process simpler and help you feel confident in your time of grief.
The length of time it takes will depend on where the person died. If the death happened in natural circumstances, it will take about five to seven days for repatriation. If there were suspicious circumstances surrounding the death, however, such as an autopsy, this could prolong the process by three months on average; but it usually takes about ten to fifteen days to transport a loved one back home.
