What international transport of the deceased involves
The death of a loved one abroad confronts the family with an exceptionally difficult and complicated task. Repatriation to Poland involves many formalities - in another language, under the regulations of a foreign country and in cooperation with offices, consulates and foreign funeral homes. We take all of this on ourselves, guiding the family step by step.
We arrange both the repatriation of the deceased from abroad to Poland and the transport of the deceased out of Poland. We provide these services worldwide, including to and from the United States, the Netherlands, Iran and Iraq. We handle international documentation, sworn translations, obtaining the death certificate and other certificates, preparing the coffin for international transport, and coordinating carriage by road or by air. Our experience in such cases allows us to act efficiently even in very difficult circumstances.

Formalities - we handle them for you
International transport requires special documentation: the death certificate, a certificate that there are no sanitary contraindications, a permit to carry the body across the border and, in many cases, consular documents and sworn translations. A coffin adapted for international transport (with a zinc liner) is also required. We provide and coordinate all of these.
Procedures differ from country to country, so we treat each case individually. We stay in constant contact with the family and keep you informed of the next steps. We set the cost of international transport individually - it depends on the country, the distance and the form of transport chosen.
