Repatriation of Body from Ireland to the USA

We have extensive experience in global repatriation services, including to or from both Ireland and the USA. We understand the requirements for paperwork and processes to ensure the repatriation of remains can go as smoothly as possible.

How Body Repatriation from Ireland to the USA works:

Repatriation from Ireland usually takes about 7 to 10 days to complete back to the USA. The process time takes into consideration the lead times of all the different government departments we have to obtain paperwork from.

Once we have the paperwork, we can arrange an embalming and a repatriation coffin suitable for the repatriation of remains. Then we can arrange flight bookings back to most international airports in the USA.
