General Funerals Advice
Planning a funeral can be an emotionally challenging experience, and we’re here to provide compassionate support every step of the way. Here are some essential pieces of advice to help you navigate this difficult time:
- Understand Your Options: Funerals can be traditional or non-traditional, religious or secular, elaborate or simple. Take time to explore the various types of services available, including burials, cremations, and memorial services, to find the best fit for your loved one’s wishes and your family’s needs.
- Budget Considerations: Funerals can vary significantly in cost. It’s important to set a budget and understand what is included in different service packages.
- Personalisation: A funeral is a tribute to the life of the deceased. Personalising the service with meaningful readings, music, and mementos can create a more comforting and memorable experience. Consider incorporating hobbies, favourite songs, or special anecdotes that celebrate the unique life of your loved one.
- Legal and Administrative Tasks: After a death, there are several legal and administrative tasks that need to be addressed, such as obtaining a death certificate, notifying social security and handling the estate. Our experienced staff can guide you through these processes to ensure everything is handled smoothly.

Repatriations
Repatriation can be a difficult and sensitive issue when a loved one passes away. Our dedicated team ensures that the process is handled with utmost care and professionalism. Here are the key steps and advice for managing repatriations:
- Contacting the Authorities: As soon as a death occurs abroad, it’s important to contact the local authorities and the nearest embassy or consulate. They can provide guidance on local regulations and the necessary documentation.
- Documentation: Proper documentation is essential for repatriation. This typically includes a death certificate, embalming certificate, and a no-objection certificate from the consulate. We assist in gathering and processing these documents to ensure a smooth transfer.
- Choosing a Repatriation Service Provider: It’s important to choose a repatriation service provider with experience and a reliable network. Our team coordinates with international funeral directors to manage the logistics and ensure respectful handling of the deceased.
- Transportation Arrangements: Repatriation involves careful planning of transportation by air or sea. We take care of all transportation logistics, including booking flights, securing necessary permits, and ensuring compliance with international regulations.
- Cultural and Religious Considerations: Repatriation can involve specific cultural and religious requirements. Our team respects and adheres to these practices, ensuring that your loved one is honored according to their traditions and beliefs.
- Communication and Updates: Clear and compassionate communication is key during the repatriation process. We keep families informed at every stage, providing updates and reassurance until your loved one is safely returned home or sent abroad.
