What role could an embassy have?
In case of death abroad, the Dutch embassy or consulate can provide information on local steps. Depending on the situation, document support may be possible. An embassy does not replace a local authority or funeral undertaker.
For transport to another country
The destination may have its own conditions. We discuss whether consular handling is necessary and who takes care of it. Ask in advance which documents are accepted and whether there are costs or lead times.
Use official contact information
Find the information for your situation via NederlandWereldwijd. The information may vary from country to country. Share the data of your consular contact with the relevant funeral director, so that work is connected.
