A death across the border brings with it sorrow and a lot of regulation. We take stock of the steps and coordinate transport with the parties involved.
What does repatriation mean?
Repatriation after death will result in the transfer of a deceased person from one country to another, which may be a return to the Netherlands or a transport from the Netherlands to the country where the funeral will take place.
An approach that suits your situation
We start with the location where the deceased is located, the destination and your wishes. We also discuss which funeral director, healthcare institution or emergency center is already involved. Then we decide together what guidance is needed.
Back to the Netherlands
Align with the local stakeholders and transport to the agreed location in the Netherlands.
