International Repatriation.
From Ireland to another country.
When someone you love passes away in Ireland, and wishes to be sent back to their home country to be buried or cremated, wewill take care of everything from the collection of the remains right up to transferring them to the airport.
After many years, Rothwell funeral directors have created a reputation for themselves of expertise in working quickly and efficiently through the bureaurcratic minefield that is often associated with bringing a departed loved one home to another country. We will organise everything such as obtaining the appropriate paperwork, e.g. out of state papers, death cert and dealing with various embassies.
We will collect the remains from their place of death and will book the flights for the deceased and arrange to have the coffin transferred to the airport the day prior to departure.
From another country to Ireland
When someone you love passes away in a foreign country and wishes to be buried back in Ireland, an extra dimension of painful difficulty can present itself to the grieving family. At Rothwell's we can take care of all the arrangements for you.
If language barriers exist, we are very experienced at locating and liaising with international Funeral Directors on your behalf; or we can work with the Undertaker appointed by the family in the foreign country; and arrange to have the deceased brought back home as soon as possible. We can make preliminary funeral arrangements with families over the phone internationally, followed later by a meeting in Ireland, and meanwhile we will book the Church and the Cemetery according to your instructions.
Rothwell’s are well versed also in liaising with the parish staff of former parishioners who emigrated abroad. We will also make sure that all paperwork is in order, and liaise with transport authorities to facilite smooth flight details. Having collected the deceased from the airport, we will re-prepare the remains if needed to facilitate family viewing in Ireland.
