Repatriation

Repatriation is the process of returning a loved one’s body home, in the event of their death taking place outside of their home country or city. As a guide, this process can take between one - two weeks, depending on the requirements of the destination country.

Rav is your expert Repatriation Specialist, having taken care of countless families’ repatriation needs in his career so far.

We recognise that the process can feel very overwhelming, and we will keep you informed of each step of the process, as we liaise with all official authorities and consulates and take care of all documentation on your behalf. We will connect with overseas Funeral Directors, arrange embalming (in accordance with legal requirements) and will organise each step of the travel process, including air, road travel and transfers. 

We have trusted contacts in some overseas destinations, having established professional relationships with Australia, Canada, UK, India and Nepal in particular. 

We will guide you on things that you can do, such as choosing clothing for your loved one or special mementos to send with them. We’re always here to answer any questions you have.
