Repatriations

Repatriation is where the deceased is repatriated or returned to another country after death.

The term can also be used to describe sending the deceased within a country or Ashes overseas.

Traditionally the cost of repatriation of the deceased was a very expensive process. We offer repatriation services from $6.500 NZD for a body or $1,100 for Ashes. Families want their loved one returned home as soon as possible to lay them to rest. These prices for repatriation are an indication only. We do aim to work within a budget with families, without compromising on services.

At Just Funerals we are able to repatriate the body of a deceased person in in a timely fashion without having to put the family through undue financial burden, without having to compromise on quality or service. Just Funerals is a family run business, we are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and are experienced in the repatriation of deceased persons to many countries and all continents around the world. When you call Just Funerals you will speak to someone who you can trust and will assist you quickly. We have completed repatriations to the Philippines, India, Australia, Samoa, Fiji, Tonga, Niue, Kiribati, United States, Brazil, Iran, Thailand and the United Kingdom to name a few.

As the major airport in New Zealand is Auckland with the majority of different international airlines available, we transport the deceased via Auckland to make the fastest connection to their homeland, with minimal delays.

We will work with your insurance company, family representative, embassy or consulate to facilitate the repatriation.
