Repatriation

When a Loved One Dies Abroad

When a friend or relative dies overseas often the initial reaction is what to do next. Smith Yeatman has vast experience in repatriations and should be your first point of call. 

We will appoint a Personal Funeral Adviser and can take over the whole process in your time of need.

We can manage the following processes:

• Arranging for the return of the body from anywhere in the world
• Managing all the necessary paperwork, including translations where necessary
• Arrange for the correct coffin to transport the body
• Arranging for relatives to go out to the country to collect the body
• Take care of all the funeral arrangements in the UK
• Collect and transport the body to anywhere in the UK

At all times your Personal Funeral Adviser will keep you advised of progress and will be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to answer your questions and support you throughout the whole process.
