A Professional, Flexible Service
Sometimes the legal and regulatory complexity of a repatriation can seem a little daunting, so we try to keep things as simple as possible.
We breakdown every element of our pricing so you can see exactly what you are paying for and, should you decide to entrust us with your repatriation, you will be looked after by one named member of our staff throughout. You will also have access to our exclusive Repatriation Progress Tracking tool, making it easy to follow every stage of your loved one's journey to their final place of rest.
Usually the Deceased's passport (or other legal permit to travel) is required. If this is not available, concise details of the Deceased's identity will be required. We are able to help you with this process.
Documentation Costs
All documents need to be Notarised at a cost of £75.00 for the first and £25.00 for each additional document (i.e. Funeral Directors Declaration, Death Certificate and Corners out of England).
For those that cannot be Notarised, (i.e. Freedom From Infection Certificate, Embalming Certificate, etc.), an Affidavit will be sworn by our attending Funeral Director. The cost for this is £50.00 for the first and £10.00 each additional document.
Once completed, all documents are legalised by us at The Legalisation Office of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office at a cost of £75.00 per document. The documents under the Affidavit will count as one document.
All documents are finally taken to the Chinese Embassy for Authorisation at a cost of £15.00 per document.
Total documentation fees will usually be in the region of £535.00.
Only once the documentation is completed can the repatriation to China proceed.
Our repatriation service includes:
- Advice on all aspects of repatriation relating to:
- UK authorities
- Chinese authorities
- All major airlines
- Preparation of the deceased
- Provision of a zinc-lined coffin or metal casket conforming to international transportation regulations
