Repatriation of Body to Malaysia

Repatriation to Kuala Lumpur typically costs £3500-£4000, and that price includes everything — collection, coffin, documentation and the flight to KL. The price we quote is the price you pay. Other destinations in Malaysia, including Malaysian Borneo, other islands, the North and more may vary due to flight costs, with final pricing confirmed once we have up-to-date rates from the airlines.
