Frequently Asked Questions For Repatriation Services

How long does repatriation take?

Repatriation typically takes 3 to 7 working days, depending on documentation and flight availability. Some countries may require more time for embassy processing or customs clearance.

Can I accompany the coffin during the flight?

Yes. Most airlines allow a family member to accompany the coffin on the same flight. We can assist with booking the same itinerary and securing any required permits.

Can the funeral take place before the body is sent abroad?

Yes. In cases of outbound repatriation, you may choose to conduct the funeral rites in Singapore before we arrange the international transport.

Can I transport cremated ashes instead of a body?

Absolutely. Transporting cremated remains is often simpler and more cost-effective. We provide services for international ashes repatriation as well.
