Common questions

How long does repatriation to United Kingdom from Singapore take?
Repatriation to United Kingdom typically takes 5 to 9 days from the time of engagement, depending on embassy processing, airline availability, and documentation readiness. We begin immediately on contact.
What documents are needed to repatriate a body to United Kingdom?
UK import requirements include a Singapore death certificate, embalming certificate, freedom from infection certificate, and an export permit. The body must be sealed in a zinc-lined casket for air transport. We manage all of this on your behalf.
Do we need to contact the British High Commission in Singapore ourselves?
No. We handle all consular communication on your behalf, including obtaining the no-objection letter from the British High Commission in Singapore. You do not need to contact the embassy directly.
How much does repatriation to United Kingdom cost?
The cost depends on airline cargo rates, documentation fees, embalming, casket, and any specific requirements at the destination. We provide a clear, itemised cost breakdown after assessing your case. Call us to discuss.
Can we hold a brief service in Singapore before the repatriation?
Yes. If the family wishes to hold a simple prayer, brief viewing, or short service in Singapore before the body is flown out, we can arrange this. We work around the documentation timeline to allow time for a farewell if needed.
