How Body Repatriation from Switzerland works:
Homeland International provides everything required for the repatriation of your loved one from Switzerland. 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.
