Getting your loved one home

We understand the indescribable shock and upset of a bereavement and the added anxiety of repatriation. With over 230 years of experience, we’ve arranged a return home from countries as far away as Australia and New Zealand. We know the rules and can help take care of the paperwork and logistics.

Supports for Repatriation

We can provide help and guidance in obtaining consular and financial support for repatriation.

While the Irish Government doesn’t provide financial support, charities such as The Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust exist to help alleviate the financial hardship of bereaved families in repatriating loved ones who have passed away in sudden or tragic circumstances back to Ireland.

From start to finish, the help and support you all gave us was beyond limits. Our mother looked so peaceful and beautiful. Our minds were put to rest when we saw how lovely and peaceful she looked on her final journey. It is a credit to a wonderful team.
