When and where should you contact us regarding the transportation of the deceased?

Transportation of the deceased from abroad is managed more efficiently if the person has health insurance, as the insurance company then takes care of all financial and organizational aspects, including documentation, transport, and logistics.

If the deceased was not insured, these responsibilities fall upon the family. Repatriation requires handling multiple documents, obtaining permits, and complying with the regulations of the country where death occurred. This process cannot be handled independently; it is important to contact a reliable company specializing in repatriation.

During this challenging time, we recommend choosing a trusted company, signing a service agreement, and providing a power of attorney along with available documents (such as a death certificate). The company will handle all remaining formalities.

Although some may try to organize repatriation themselves to save money, this is rarely cheaper and often takes longer due to the complexity of procedures, legal requirements, and language barriers.

First of all, it is important to understand that transporting a deceased person’s body requires compliance with certain hygiene regulations agreed upon by states: the body must be transported in a coffin specially designed for transportation and carried in a vehicle specifically adapted for this purpose, equipped with refrigeration facilities. Therefore, in any case, it will be necessary to hire a specially equipped transport vehicle.

In addition, each country has different procedures in place, there are language barriers, and consular institutions do not provide competent assistance or help organize the transportation of deceased citizens of the Republic of Lithuania from abroad. As a bureaucratic institution, the consular office does not help the responsible person save money during this process. The person must also urgently arrange all the necessary documents for transporting the remains out of the country where the person died or was killed, and hire a suitable vehicle equipped with specialized transportation equipment.

Contact us at any time, and we will ensure fast, reliable, and respectful repatriation, taking care of all documentation and logistics.

Why should you choose us for the repatriation of the deceased?

We provide assistance 24 hours per day, 7 days a week.

Our goal is to transport your loved one’s body or urn with ashes reliably, respectfully, and at an affordable price, ensuring the fastest and smoothest process possible.

We not only transport the deceased to Lithuania, but also handle all the necessary documentation for repatriation and eligibility for state support. We provide consultations on all matters related to the transportation of the deceased, cremation, embalming, and the transportation of urns with ashes.

We guarantee affordable pricing, reliability, and a smooth repatriation of the deceased.

What information is required for the transportation of the deceased?

To organize repatriation, the process begins with collecting the necessary documents. Each country has its own regulations, which may vary slightly. However, the following documents are required for all countries:

The power of attorney authorizing the funeral company to arrange the repatriation of the deceased from abroad. This document must include the following details of the authorizing person: full name, personal identification number, and address. A copy of the authorizing person’s passport may also be required. The power of attorney must be notarized.

Deceased identification: name and surname, personal code, date of birth and place.

Details of the death: including the date and place of death. A copy of the deceased’s passport and death certificate will also be required.

Contact information of relevant foreign institutions (such as the hospital, mortuary, police, or coroner), including the institution’s name, telephone number, email address, physical address, and any other available details.

Other documents: some countries may require the submission of a birth certificate, marriage certificate, divorce certificate, as well as information regarding the deceased’s occupation, address, immediate family members and other relevant details.

In each country, the requirements may be different.

Frequently Asked Questions

We transport the deceased from all over the world: United Kingdom, Germany, Denmark, Ireland, Norway, Ukraine, Belgium and other countries. Feel free to contact us 24/7.

The time required to return the deceased depends on the country from which the repatriation is carried out, as procedures vary and specific permits are required to transport the deceased out of each country, as well as on the individual circumstances.

The longest part of the process is usually handling documentation and formalities, including document translation and obtaining an apostille (if required). This stage typically takes between one and seven days.

Once all documents are prepared, transportation of the deceased usually takes up to two days.

In most cases, obtaining permits and preparing the necessary documentation takes between one and seven days; however, it may take longer if an investigation into the circumstances of death is being conducted. In such cases, repatriation depends on when the investigation is completed.

1. Power of attorney – including the full name, personal identification number, and address of the authorizing person. A copy of their passport may also be required.

2. Details of the deceased – full name, personal identification number, date and place of birth.

3. Death details – date and place of death. A copy of the deceased’s passport and death certificate may also be required.

4. Known contacts – hospital, mortuary, police, or coroner: institution name, phone number, email address, and address.

5. Additional documents – depending on the country where the death occurred, documents such as a birth certificate, marriage certificate (Form A and/or Form B from the Civil Registry Office), divorce certificate, as well as information about the deceased’s occupation, address, and immediate family members and other relevant details.

The price consists of several components and depends on the country from which the deceased ought to be transported. The final sum is set from each individual situation, but orientational prices are below:

  • Transportation costs 1000-2500 EUR. The price depends on the distance from where the deceased needs to be transported and the mode of transport: car, ferry or plane.
  • Fees for documents for foreign institutions are 50-500 EUR. Taxes and fees have to be paid to the various authorities in the country from which the body is to be transported for the preparation and issuance of documents.
  • Fees for the mortuary abroad 0-2500 EUR. This fee is paid to the mortuary of the country from which the deceased is to be transported for the storage of the body and transportation from the scene to the mortuary.
  • Zinc-lined coffin 0-1500 EUR. When transportation is carried out by road, we transport your loved one in a zinc-lined coffin, which we provide free of charge. However, in some countries – such as Italy, France, and Spain – local regulations require that the deceased be embalmed and placed in a certified double coffin (an inner zinc-lined coffin and an outer wooden coffin) before repatriation. The cost of such a coffin is approximately €1,500. In these cases, the coffin is handed over to the family after transportation.
  • In some countries or regions, e.g., Austria, mandatory sealing of zinc-lined coffins – price starts from 200 EUR.
  • Body preparation for transportation (necessary in some countries) 300-1000 EUR.
  • If the deceased is transported by air, the body must be embalmed. Transportation by plane takes around 1-2 days, depending on the combined flights. But mandatory embalming and documentation take longer than transportation by road.

We will agree on the best price with you based on your individual needs.

We can transport the deceased (his body) to your given address, or we can transport the deceased to the crematorium and bring the urn.

At your request, we can embalm the body, dress the deceased, and prepare it for farewell.

If you have incurred expenses abroad that are independent of us, we will provide you with receipts proving those additional expenses.
