It was a five star experience

It was a five star experience. We were terrified and could not speak or read Greek. Your company and fantastic case officer took over for us and did everything for us. I can’t recommend your company enough to any family in trouble and heartbroken as we were and having to repatriate the mortal remains of a loved one as we had to. Thank you Homeland

Highly Recommended!

From start to finish, I was kept informed throughout the whole process and have been well supported by my case handler Sarah, who is outstanding in her communication, very knowledgable, with the ability to empathise in showing great attention to detail, and was very efficient. Thank you Sarah, for making it a smooth process in the repatriation of my mother and in taking off the pressure, keeping in great rapport along the way in providing an excellent service in making it happen with ease.

Very supportive and compassionate

At such a difficult time they took the burden off of my shoulders and helped in this difficult situation. They gave very helpful impartial advice which I was able to think about and decided to use their services. They showed compassion, kindness and were genuinely wanting to help ease the pressure and support in the repatriation. The cost was reasonable for the services provided. Would recommend their services wholeheartedly.

Our case was handled very professionally and efficiently! We never got to a moment of doubt. Great communication at all times. All our needs and requests were taken into account. It is really important to have all this during such difficult times. And we have experienced otherwise in other institutions. Thank you Homeland International, and particularly Sarah and all involved in handling our case, for treating us with compassion and respect!

Repatriation: From the first point of contact…

From the first point of contact Homeland International could not have been more helpful. during our correspondents they were thoughtful compassionate and willing to accommodate us every step of the way, even when we made a very unusual request regarding sending a little bag of sand home in the coffin with our love one, for ceremonial purposes. As a family we are grateful to all the staff at Homeland International for making a very sad and difficult time stress free and effortless. We would highly recommend this company to anyone who needs to repatriate their love ones back home to their country of origin.-
