Repatriation of the deceased depends on the country of origin and specifics: procedures can vary, and obtaining permits varies from 1 to 7 days. Processing and translation of documents, sometimes requiring an apostille, takes the most time. After all the formalities, the delivery takes up to 2 days. An investigation into the cause of death can prolong the process.
Repatriation requires a death certificate, legalized or apostilled documents and documents of the deceased person, such as a passport. Special permits from health and law enforcement authorities and transportation documents for repatriation may also be required. Each country’s requirements may differ, so it is important to check with the relevant authorities.
The cost of repatriating a deceased person depends on many factors, including distance, mode of transport and required documentation. On average, the costs can range from a thousand to several thousand euros, depending on whether the repatriation takes place from a near or far country.
For the repatriation of the deceased, it is necessary to obtain a death certificate and have it officially translated into the language of the country of origin, as well as permission to remove the remains from the country where the person died. Documentation of the cause of death is also required, sometimes with confirmations from the relevant country’s health authorities or courts. All these documents must be submitted to the relevant authorities in both countries to ensure a smooth and legal repatriation process.
