Repatriation of Body from the UAE to the Philippines

We support many clients with the repatriation of remains from the UAE to the Philippines.

How Repatriation of Body from the UAE to the Philippines works
Much of the repatriation of remains process from the UAE requires the support of an employer or ‘sponsor’. Many aspects of daily life in the UAE includes the support of a sponsor and the repatriation of remains is no different.
Homeland International and its agents work closely with employers, sponsors and families in the UAE to ensure the repatriation process goes as smoothly as possible. Repatriation usually takes about 5 to 7 days from the UAE. 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.
Embalming is managed at a government controlled centre, we will complete the embalming at the centre before safely sealing and securing the coffin for safe transportation home from the UAE.
Homeland International has great experience in the UAE including high profile repatriation cases on behalf of government organisations. We have built and developed many relationships throughout the UAE which enable us to support from anywhere in the country back to any country on earth.
