- Providing a casket suitable for air transport.
- Legal repatriation documents for foreign shipment.

In entrusting Vospers with the repatriation of your loved one, you can rest assured that their wishes will be honoured with the utmost care and respect.
Thinking about your own arrangements…
If you wish to be buried in your land of birth, or in a family grave or church cemetery, it is wise to state this in your will, and also discuss your wishes with your family and close friends. This way they will be aware if funeral repatriation may be required or not.
