You only ever have one phone number to call: ours.

How long does repatriation take?
Interstate is usually a few days. International typically takes one to three weeks, depending on the country's consular requirements and flight availability. We'll give you a realistic timeline on the first call and update you as it progresses.
What does it cost?
It varies significantly by country, airline and requirements, so we quote each case individually — always in writing, with every fee itemised before anything begins. Repatriating ashes rather than a casket is considerably less expensive, and we'll always tell you if that's an option worth considering.
Can you arrange a service here as well?
Yes. Most families hold a service or memorial once their loved one is home. We'll plan it with you, and there's no rush — take the time you need.
What if they passed away overseas?
Call us and we'll take it from there. We've brought loved ones home from twenty-three countries and work directly with overseas funeral directors, embassies and airlines on your behalf.
Let's talk it through together.
One phone call. No pressure, no obligation — just honest guidance from a family who's done this thousands of times.
