Repatriation

Each year over 1,000 Australians die overseas. Not to mention the number who die in Australia and live abroad.

When this happens, families are faced with added stress and anxiety about what to do. There is considerable paperwork required plus other requirements that need to be met in order to have their loved one returned to their place of origin. In addition to this, trying to navigate a country’s mandatory regulations is challenging at the best of times let alone when you’ve just lost someone.

The three most common reasons for repatriation are:

• Wanting the deceased to be laid to rest in their homeland
• Having the deceased laid to rest near family
• Meeting the exact cultural or religious needs regarding their remains
