How Body Repatriation from Spain works:

Homeland International provides everything required for the repatriation of your loved one from Spain. Typically, a repatriation usually takes between 5 to 7 days however in certain situations, such as if a coroner or the police are involved, this may extend the time frame slightly. Once in our care, our team will care for the person who has died, complete the embalming which is required for repatriation and prepare the coffin for international transportation back home.

We provide repatriation of remains services from anywhere in Spain and manage all the paperwork including the liaison with the local authorities and airlines. Request a quote from a specific location from us today.
