To lose a child

To lose a child, no matter their age, has to be the worst thing to happen to any parent. My situation was difficult but with the help of Tom and Rachel I finally had the ashes of my son delivered from England to Ireland and will be eternally grateful to them for all that they did. Highly recommend this company.

I lost my dad in April 2023 in the UK

I lost my dad in April 2023 in the UK. The service and support I and the family received was top quality. I also found out it was very good quality for money. I can only highly recommend this Company as they carter to the Nigerian market and understand sensitivities around sending a loved one back home. They handled the whole process smoothly!!!Thank you on behalf of the Emeagwali family.

Outstanding service, lovely people.

I spoke with a lady called Nicola after my sister died while abroad, she was absolutely incredible and she helped my family through a really difficult and stressful time.

She helped us through everything and made the whole process extremely easy. I couldn't have asked for more...

Thank you for everything.

Kindness and Professionalism throughout.

From my very first contact with Global Funeral Repatriation to the last, everything has been dealt with with the utmost compassion and professionalism. Though our circumstance was unusual, Global Funeral Repatriation was able to quickly sort everything out.

I would like to particularly thank Nicola Archer for all of her help. Thank you for helping my family to bring my Dad home.

Perfect for repatriating your loved one abroad

Tom and the team at Global Funeral Repatriation were an amazing company to work with to fly my dad back to the Philippines. As soon as dad passed, they handled and took on everything professionally and with such empathy. They communicated well and answered emails promptly which takes away any doubts from an already stressful event.
Thank you GFR, my family and I can’t recommend you enough!🤍🙏🏽

Can't recommend highly enough

I can't recommend Global Funeral Repatriation enough.

When my dad passed away in Germany, they organised bringing him back quickly and efficiently. Crucially, they were kind, compassionate and incredibly responsive - our family will always be grateful for the support they provided us.

Excellent Service from beginning to end

I would like to say a big thank you for everything Nicola and Tom did to make this difficult time go as smoothly as possible. The funeral in Italy was lovely and a celebration of Elena’s life with family and friends getting together. The coffin was beautiful and really looked stunning in the church in Positano. All of this wouldn’t have been possible with your help. I also wanted to say thank you for your compassion when Elena was in your care. You all went above and beyond and made a difficult time a lot easier. I would obviously have no hesitation to recommend your services. I hope I don’t need to use you again, please don’t take that personally.

Fantastic service from a top class team

I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending GFR and their services to anyone who is in the unfortunate position of having to bring a loved one home who has passed away abroad.
My partner sadly died whilst we were on holiday in Cambodia in November. GFR looked after us "both" from start to finish, with understanding and respect. I thank them wholeheartedly.

Very professional, affordable & Responsive

In November 2023, my mother passed away, and my frd(Isi) contacted Global Funeral Repatriation based on positive online reviews. Within a few days, all paperwork was prepared, and a driver traveled to Scotland to bring my mom from the Royal Infirmary. She spent nearly three months in their care, receiving attentive and respectful treatment, including meticulous makeup and pedicure services. The peace of mind I felt knowing my mom was well taken care of was immense. Their warm reception, prompt responses via both calls and emails, and convenient payment method are appreciated.

My mother arrived in Nigeria with British Airways on January 30, 2024, and was received by Omega Funeral Home in Lagos. Effective communication from the airline officer and Omega Funeral was maintained before her arrival. I highly recommend Global Funeral Repatriation to everyone; they are not only affordable but ensure your loved one is cared for with utmost respect. Special thanks to Tom for taking time to receive me and my friends on a Sunday outside working hours. I am sincerely grateful for safely bringing my mother back home, significantly easing the burden.
Thank you to Tom & his amazing team

Amazing service and team from beginning…

Amazing service and team from beginning to end!
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend their services to anyone repatriating a loved one abroad.
Thank you to Nicola, for your amazing customer service and dealing with any questions I had.
The fact that they deal with all the paperwork and see it right through, including finding and booking flights, dealing with the necessary paperwork and certificate to fly out my father really helped ease the stress after my loss, all inclusive of the price.
As I said in my email I can't thank you guys enough during an emotional and stressful time. Thank you Global Repatriation for everything!

I would highly recommend Global Funeral…

I would highly recommend Global Funeral Repatriation because the service and support they provided to myself and my family during a very difficult time was absolutely phenomenal. They managed the entire process of repatriating my father's remains back to Nigeria without any issues and ensured that everything went smoothly. Tom and his team listened to our needs/requirements and communication throughout was excellent. They were professional and courteous. But most of all they worked with compassion and empathy to deliver a service with heart because they truly cared and that showed in the way that they dealt with us from start to finish. Thank you Tom, Jenny and Rachel for everything.

Ultimate Professionals at a time when their advice and service was needed the most

Global Funeral Repatriation made such a difficult, distressing time so much easier.
They were so helpful and compassionate from my first telephone enquiry through to repatriating our much loved member of staff, back to the Philippines.
Nothing was too much trouble - I hope that we never need to use their services again, but if we did, I would not hesitate to call them immediately.
Cannot recommend Jen and Tom highly enough. Thank you so much

Consummate professionalism

Whilst looking for companies to repatriate my dad’s body within an incredibly limited time frame, I came across Global repatriation.

Jen and Tom were absolutely magnificent throughout. Not only were their prices the best that I came across by far (I searched about 5 competitors!), but their level of expertise, knowledge and detail regarding paperwork and turn around times were exceptional.

There was a funeral service prior to repatriation, followed by a ceremony and a burial once his body arrived in Nigeria.

The driver Matt and the pallbearers were very professional and respectful for the service in London.

Jen and Tom were so flexible and understanding, going above and beyond to ensure that things went smoothly.

On the Nigeria side of things, they liaised with a local mortuary to collect the body and organise a hearse.

Thank you so much!

Outstanding service! I cannot rate this company highly…

I cannot rate this company highly enough I made a call to them yesterday afternoon after being let down by our funeral directors, today they collected my sister’s body from Cornwall and repatriated her to Crewe within 24 hours they were empathetic and highly professional. I dealt with Jen and Rachael and Matt was the driver who messaged me with updates on the journey.
The service is outstanding and I can’t thank them enough!

Helpful, responsive and compassionate

Tom was extremely helpful and always available to discuss matters. He arranged for my mother to be repatriated from Verona, Italy back to the UK and everything was organised without any additional stress to the family, during such a difficult time. I would recommend to anyone who has the unfortunate need to use such a service. Thank you!
