Thank you ♡

When my dad recently passed away in Thailand, I was completely lost, I had no idea what to do. From day one 'Homeland International' guided and supported me. I especially want to thank Amy (based in the UK) and Jeff (based in Thailand), they both went above and beyond.

No one ever wants to go through the sudden loss of a loved one, but to lose them when they're so many miles away makes this all the more unbearable. I honestly can't thank you all enough x

Thank you for all your help and kindness

Everyone that I dealt with was professional, efficient and sensible. My late mother's ashes were collected from my home (which is in a remote location, where even some delivery drivers refuse to come) promptly, and we were kept informed throughout the repatriation process. While I hope never to need Homeland's services again, I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone who needs such services.

A seamless service

We used Homeland International to repatriate my dads ashes. They were absolutely brilliant and made what could have been an extremely stressful situation stress free. Mehrez who handled our requests was extremely efficient and I recommend them highly enough

Brilliant service

We were extremely pleased with the great service provided by Homeland to repatriate my father’s ashes from UAE to the UK. During a difficult time for the family, they took care of everything from start to finish with zero hassle and regular communications. Everything went smoothly and I was glad of their support in all the complexities that are involved in transporting a loved one’s ashes - which they sorted for us. Thank you.

Repatriation of my wife.

Needed my Wife to be sent home to the Philippines. Homeland arranged everything, including the embassy visit and ensured everything was done correctly. First class service. I hope never to be in a position again where I require their services...but if I do, I would use them without question.

Compassionate, caring and respectful.

I never thought about needing a company like this until my Dad passed. Maria and the team were so organised, responsive and talked me through the whole process.
I would recommend Homeland International to anyone who finds themselves in the same situation as us.
