How Body Repatriation to Italy works:

At Homeland International we provide everything required for the repatriation of remains to Italy. Typically, repatriation usually takes between 10 to 14 days as it can take some time for the embassy to obtain what they need from Italy. In certain situations, such as if a coroner is 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.
