Funeral repatriation in Singapore

When a loss crosses borders, the distance makes it harder. We handle the documentation and logistics of bringing a loved one home to Singapore, or sending them onward.

The short answer

We arrange repatriation to and from Singapore — bringing a loved one who has died overseas home, or sending someone who died here onward to another country. This covers embalming, a sealed coffin, the documentation, consular clearance and the airline arrangements. Priced by arrangement.

Bringing a loved one home

  • Coordination with the local authorities and the Singapore mission abroad
  • Embalming and a hermetically sealed coffin for air transport
  • The death certificate and embalming certificate, often translated
  • The airway bill and flight arrangements
  • Collection on arrival in Singapore, and the funeral from there

Sending a loved one onward

If a loved one has passed in Singapore and the family wishes to lay them to rest abroad, the same care applies in reverse — embalming, the sealed coffin, the Singapore documentation, the destination country’s permits and the airline booking, coordinated with the receiving funeral home.

Repatriation is the most document-heavy arrangement there is, and every country differs. Call us at any hour and we begin straight away.

Repatriation is bringing a loved one who has died overseas home to Singapore, or sending someone who died in Singapore onward to another country. It involves embalming, a sealed coffin, documentation, consular clearance and airline arrangements.

How much does repatriation cost?
