Repatriation

Repatriation is sometimes required when a person dies away from home, whether in Ireland or abroad. The process can involve detailed paperwork, coordination with multiple agencies and tight timelines. Our role is to manage each stage for you, ensuring everything is carried out correctly and with care.

We have extensive experience in both inbound and outbound repatriation and work closely with embassies, consulates, airlines, hospitals and authorities to arrange safe and timely transfers.

Returning Someone Home to Ireland

If your loved one has died overseas, we can arrange for them to be brought home. This includes:

• Liaising with local authorities, hospitals and funeral directors abroad
• Coordinating flights and transport
• Completing all required documentation
• Advising you on any legal or procedural requirements
• Arranging onward transfer to our funeral home in Youghal

We guide families through each step so the process feels organised and manageable.

Repatriation from Ireland to Another Country

If someone wishes to be returned to their country of origin, we take responsibility for:

• Preparing all necessary documents, including permits and certificates
• Liaising with the relevant embassy or consulate
• Arranging flights and transport
• Coordinating with a receiving funeral director abroad

Our team ensures that all arrangements are completed in line with the requirements of the destination country.

Support and Guidance Throughout

Repatriation can be complex, particularly when navigating unfamiliar procedures or different legal systems. We are here to answer your questions, outline the steps involved and ensure that arrangements are carried out efficiently and respectfully.

Whether bringing someone home or arranging transfer abroad, our focus is on providing clear communication and steady support throughout.
