How It Works

Five Stages, One Point of Contact

International repatriation involves authorities, documents and providers in at least two countries. This is how we structure it so the family does not have to.

  1. 01

    Case Intake

    We take the details of the case: where the death occurred, where the deceased needs to be transferred, and the circumstances that affect what will be required.

  2. 02

    Operational Assessment

    We review the requirements for that specific route — documentation, authorisations, available providers and flight options — and come back to you with what the case involves.

  3. 03

    Coordination in the Country of Origin

    We coordinate with the local professional providers and the relevant authorities in the country where the death occurred.

  4. 04

    The International Transfer

    Documentation, airline, cargo and the flight itself are coordinated and tracked through to departure.

  5. 05

    Arrival in the Destination Country

    We coordinate the handover to the receiving party in the destination country and the continuation of the arrangements there.

The stages above describe how a case is typically managed. The specific requirements, sequence and timing depend on the countries involved and are confirmed case by case.
