Our close-knit team are highly experienced in body repatriation to the UAE. With our knowledge of repatriation assistance built upon decades of experience combined with our relationships with airline companies and embassies, we can assure you are in safe hands when arranging a repatriation to the UAE.
How body repatriation to UAE works:
At Homeland International we provide everything required for the repatriation of remains to the UAE. Typically, repatriation usually takes between 7 to10 days, however 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.
We have our own Arabic and English speaking colleagues to help you with the process and are available to help with the repatriation of remains at any time. We have a great team in the UAE also who can help on arrival if need be. We understand that the UAE is more than Dubai alone and are able to support with onward transport to anywhere else in the UAE such as Abu Dhabi, Fujairah and Sharjah as well as everywhere else too.
We understand local and religious customs and will do everything possible to repatriate remains to the UAE as quickly as possible.
