Exceptional repatriation service

From the point of engagement to the final confirmation of complete repatriation of Dad to Lagos, Nigeria; the service was professional and exceptional. Homeland international and affiliates (Angelcare Funeral Services, Halifax UK and TOS, Lagos-Nigeria) communicated every stage of preparation and travels with us and allowed us to focus on other process of burial for Dad. We were initially sceptical of service but once I spoke with Malcolm, we were reassured and I can definitely recommend their service to anyone looking to repatriate their loved one to Nigeria. I'm very pleased that with the help of homeland international, we were able to fulfil our Dad's wish and give him a befitting send off he deserves.

Professional Service

With such a shock of losing a loved one on vacation, the Homeland International Team, especially Malcolm, was completely professional and kept in constant communication on the repatriation process of getting my loved one back home. I will forever be grateful and have appreciation for this wonderful Team.

Managed a complicated case with ease and compassion

We contacted Claire Disbray at Homeland with a complicated request. Could our family member a non-UK resident (Iranian) who died in a second country (Austria) be transported to the UK for burial - and could this been done ASAP for a Muslim burial. Other providers simply said “No”, some didn’t even respond but Claire got back to us quickly and having researched the problem, she came up with a solution. Less than a week later and to the surprise of others in the trade, we had the funeral in the UK.

Apart from her amazing logistical skills, Claire is one of the most compassionate and professional people we’ve ever dealt with.

Amy at Homeland was extreamly kind and compassionate. She helped me understand the process in a sympathic way. Amy kept in touch every step of the way, from leaving the funeral home, to the number and time of his flight, to ETA at arrival home. I felt my son was in good hands.

Kept up to date throughout the whole process of repatriation

Our local Funeral directors could not praise the quality of the communication they received from Homelands enough.They were kept up to date at every stage of the repatriation of our son James from Barbados to Nottinghamshire England This enabled them to keep us updated too This helped immensely during the weeks of waiting for him to be brought home
Thank you Homelands

Extremely helpful and professional service. Homeland International managed the repatriation of my father when he sadly passed away while on holiday in Rome. This was an extremely stressful situation for out family, but from the point that Homeland were appointed they made things as easy as possible for us. They took over and made all the arrangements keeping us informed at all stages. They were very fast to respond to any queries, even after working hours, and also to assist with any emergent requests from our local funeral director, or for any other admin needed to progress with making arrangements. They made a very difficult time as easy as it could be and in the circumstances we are very grateful for their extremely professional support.

New Zealand & South Pacific

Over the last few years we have had the privilege to represent Homeland International to repatriate loved ones back to their families (from throughout New Zealand) and at times have organised clearance and resending deceased people back to their homes (from very small Pacific locations).
We have repatriated ashes also on Homelands behalf.
At times we have asked for specific country assistance and the team had been most helpful.
Their communication is top-notch, paperwork and questions we have, are answered extremely promptly and no detal is too small to matter.
We have engaged Homeland to arrange for transportation within Europe and other 'far to reach' locations from New Zealand on our behalf.
Our customers only have the highest compliments to Homelands network of caring, dedicated professionals.
At these times when a death has occurred far from home, the task at hand is to handle a repatriation as quickly, as efficiently and with the care and dignity that each of us expect. This is what we have experienced with Homeland International.
