Transporting a Loved One Abroad
When someone dies abroad, or when a loved one needs to be brought to another country for burial or cremation, the process can feel overwhelming.
We can help guide families through the practical steps involved in transporting a loved one to or from Ireland.
Bringing Someone Home to Ireland
If a loved one has died abroad and the family wishes to bring them home, we can liaise with the relevant funeral directors, authorities, and service providers to help arrange their return.
Transporting Someone From Ireland to Another Country
If a loved one has died in Ireland and the family wishes for burial or cremation to take place abroad, we can help with the arrangements and explain what is required.
What May Be Involved
International transport may include:
- Documentation
- Liaison with authorities
- Embalming or preparation where required
- A suitable coffin for transport
- Coordination with airlines or transport providers
- Contact with funeral directors in the destination country
- Timing and practical guidance for the family
Support for Families Abroad
We can also help families where relatives are living overseas and need clear communication about arrangements in Ireland.
