Types of Transfers
Commercial Cargo
Private Charter Flights
In some cases, families or organizations may prefer a more personalized and private service for the transfer of remains. We offer the option of using private charter flights, which provide greater flexibility in terms of flight schedules, routes, and handling procedures. This option is particularly valuable in situations where commercial flights are not available or suitable due to the nature of the transfer, such as when transporting remains from a remote location or during a time-sensitive situation. Our team manages all aspects of the charter flight process, from coordinating with the charter company to ensuring that the remains are handled with the same high standards of care and compliance that we apply to commercial transfers. This service also allows for more tailored arrangements, such as the inclusion of family members on the flight or the selection of specific routes that align with the family’s preferences.
Urn Transfer
Transfer of Ashes: When families choose cremation, the transfer of ashes requires careful handling and strict adherence to international regulations. While the process may seem simpler than transferring a body, it still involves numerous legal and logistical challenges. Our team is experienced in managing these requirements, from selecting the appropriate urn and ensuring it meets airline and customs standards, to completing all necessary documentation for the transfer. This includes obtaining cremation certificates, securing the necessary export and import permits, and working with airlines to ensure the urn is properly labeled and transported as cargo. We ensure that the ashes are treated with the same level of care and respect as mortal remains, providing peace of mind to the family during this difficult time. Additionally, we offer guidance on specific customs and traditions related to the handling and transport of ashes, ensuring that all cultural and religious considerations are respected.
– Cremation Abroad: In some cases, families may decide that it is more practical or culturally appropriate to have their loved one cremated in the country where they passed away, with the ashes then transported back to their home country. This process involves coordinating with local cremation facilities, ensuring that the cremation is carried out according to the family’s wishes and in compliance with local laws. Our team manages all aspects of this process, from arranging the cremation and handling local documentation, to organizing the safe transport of the urn back to the home country. We also assist with any additional services the family may require, such as organizing a memorial service or handling the distribution of the ashes according to the family’s traditions. By managing these complex logistics, we allow the family to focus on grieving and remembrance, rather than dealing with bureaucratic hurdles. – Documentation and Approvals: The legal requirements for transferring ashes across international borders are similar to those for transferring mortal remains, with specific documentation and approvals required by both the origin and destination countries. This can include obtaining permits from health departments, securing embassy clearances, and ensuring that the ashes are transported in an urn that meets international standards. Our team takes on the responsibility of securing all necessary permits and clearances, including those from government entities and embassies. By managing this process, we help ensure that the transfer proceeds smoothly and without any legal complications. We also provide families with guidance on the specific regulations that may apply to their situation, ensuring that they are fully informed and prepared for the process.
Mode Of Transfer For Urn (Ashes).
Commercial Airlines: The most common method of transferring ashes is via commercial airlines, where they are treated as cargo. This process requires careful coordination with the airline to ensure that the urn is properly packaged and labeled, and that all necessary documentation is in order. Our team manages this process from start to finish, ensuring that all airline requirements are met and that the ashes are transported with the highest level of care. We work closely with airline cargo departments to arrange the transport, ensuring that the urn is handled with the respect and dignity it deserves. Additionally, we provide tracking services so that the family can be kept informed of the turn’s location and estimated arrival time. This level of transparency and communication helps to alleviate some of the stress and anxiety that can accompany the repatriation of ashes.

Our cremation services are available both within the home country and internationally, providing families with the flexibility to choose the option that best meets their needs.

Burial services can be complex, particularly when they involve international travel or adherence to specific cultural and religious traditions. Our team assists with all aspects of burial arrangements, including securing a burial plot, coordinating with local funeral homes, and arranging transportation for the remains. We also manage the legal and regulatory aspects of the burial, ensuring that all necessary documentation is in order and that all local requirements are met. By providing comprehensive support, we help families navigate the often complex process of arranging a burial, allowing them to focus on honoring their loved one’s memory.
– Legal Documentation: The legal requirements for burial vary widely from country to country, and navigating these regulations can be challenging for families already dealing with the emotional burden of losing a loved one. Our team takes on the responsibility of managing all necessary legal documentation, including obtaining death certificates, burial permits, and any required clearances from local authorities. We also work closely with embassies and consulates to ensure that all international legal requirements are met, including any necessary translations of documents. By handling these complex legal aspects, we help ensure that the burial proceeds smoothly and without any unnecessary delays, allowing the family to focus on their grieving process.
Key Features – Customizable Service Packages: Every family’s needs are unique, and we understand that there is no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to the repatriation of mortal remains. To accommodate this, we offer customizable service packages that can be tailored to meet the specific needs and preferences of the family or organization.

This approach allows us to provide a truly personalized service that addresses the unique challenges and preferences of each situation, ensuring that the family’s wishes are honored at every step.
– Emergency and Expedited Services: In situations where time is of the essence—such as when the deceased’s body must be repatriated quickly due to health or safety concerns, or when religious or cultural practices require a rapid burial or cremation—we offer emergency and expedited services. These services prioritize quick processing and swift transfers, minimizing the time the family must wait for their loved one to be returned home. Our team is experienced in managing urgent cases, and we have established protocols in place to ensure that all necessary arrangements can be made quickly and efficiently. We work closely with airlines, embassies, and local authorities to expedite the process, ensuring that time-sensitive cases are handled with the speed and care they require.
– Multilingual Support: The repatriation of mortal remains often involves working with multiple countries, each with its own language and legal system. This can create significant challenges for families who are not fluent in the local language or familiar with the local customs. To address this, we provide multilingual support to navigate language barriers and ensure clear communication with families, local authorities, and other involved parties. Our team includes fluent speakers of several languages, and we also work with professional translators to ensure that all documentation is accurate and all communications are clear. This service is particularly valuable in cases where the family is located in a different country from where the death occurred, as it helps to ensure that all aspects of the repatriation process are handled smoothly and without misunderstandings.

Our team is experienced in managing the complexities of international repatriation, including navigating different legal systems, coordinating with multiple government agencies, and managing the logistics of transporting remains across great distances. This global expertise allows us to handle even the most challenging cases, such as those involving multiple countries or complex legal requirements. By leveraging our global network, we are able to provide a truly comprehensive service that ensures the safe and respectful return of the deceased to their home country.
– Quality Assurance: Ensuring that every aspect of the repatriation process meets the highest standards of care and professionalism is at the core of our service. We adhere to strict quality assurance protocols at every stage of the process, from the initial consultation to the final transfer of the remains.

Our commitment to quality assurance means that families can trust that their loved one is being treated with the utmost respect and care, and that every detail of the process is being handled with the highest level of professionalism.
Process Overview – Initial Consultation: The process of repatriating mortal remains begins with a detailed consultation to understand the specific needs and preferences of the family or organization. During this consultation, we discuss the various options available, explain the process in detail, and answer any questions the family may have. This initial conversation is also an opportunity for the family to express any cultural, religious, or personal preferences that they would like to be taken into account. By taking the time to listen and understand the family’s wishes, we are able to tailor our services to meet their specific needs and provide the most appropriate level of support.
