Highest Standards of Care

We are committed to providing the very highest standards of care. Global Funeral Repatriation was set up to provide genuinely excellent services to families to support them in their time of loss. The emphasis was always on the direct, personal touch and not using third parties or becoming large and impersonal corporations.

The family-focused business with family values was always our vision and to this day we have stayed true to our core values (see below). With everything in-house and under one roof, the vision was to have a highly coordinated team that knew what each other was doing.

Real Personal Touch and High-Quality Support

As the 3 separate companies successfully expanded, we always maintained that in-house approach. It means our families get the real personal touch and high-quality support they deserve.

Our Mission

To provide swift and secure repatriation of loved ones with genuine care and support for all of our families.

Core Values

We are an independent family-run funeral repatriation business and the emphasis is on the personal touch. The team are based under one roof and we all work together cohesively to achieve the best possible outcome for your family. Our core values underpin our business:

01

Caring Attitude

We understand that losing a loved one is incredibly difficult. We support you fully during the repatriation process, offering empathy and understanding every step of the way.

02

Integrity

We uphold the highest ethical standards in all our operations. We provide transparent communication, and fair pricing, and deliver on promises.

03

Respect

We honour your unique cultural, religious, and personal beliefs surrounding death. We handle your loved one's remains with great respect and dignity according to your traditions.

04

Excellence

We strive for excellence in every aspect, from our knowledgeable staff to meticulous attention to detail, to ensure a seamless repatriation.

05

Staying Informed

We keep our knowledge and expertise uptodate regarding repatriation regulations for each of the countries that our services cover.
