I am profoundly grateful to Homeland International, in particular, to Richard Benn, for their exceptional care in repatriating our Father's ashes from London to Manila. Navigating the complex legal demands of both the UK authorities and the Philippine Embassy seemed overwhelming, but their team handled everything seamlessly. They managed the entire process door-to-door, secured the Consular Mortuary Certificate, cleared customs in Manila, and gave our family complete peace of mind. My regular communication with Richard was compassionate and clear during an incredibly difficult time. I highly recommend their professional services to any family needing international repatriation. Thank you.

Homeland International helped us bring our dad Donny Strathie home to Scotland as unfortunately he passed during his visit to Boston for the FIFA Workd Cup 2026 He was going over to support Scotland. Richard Benn from Homeland International was absolutely amazing and made the process so easy for us. Dad had great insurance so he was fully covered for all eventualities Richard Benn managed to get dad home in ten days which we cannot thank him enough for. He took the stress out of an already unbelievably shocking event. Thanks again Cheryl and Denise Strathie externally grateful ❤️🥰
