How Body Repatriation from South Africa works:
Homeland International manages repatriation from South Africa with the assistance of its local providers in the country. We manage the repatriation from start to finish, orchestrating everything local providers will complete on the ground. This ensures the local paperwork protocols, embassy procedures and international requirements are all met thanks to our extensive experience in global repatriation services.
Once the paperwork process is complete and the consular requirements are met, Homeland International will work with international airlines to source suitable flights and routings to the final country.
