An Excellent Company

I used Homeland-International this year to transport ashes from London to Lagos, Nigeria.
From the initial telephone enquiry through to the final stages, the Company was always helpful, courteous, patient and knowledgeable. I dealt mainly with Maria but other staff members were equally professional.
For these reasons I would highly recommend Homeland-International.

Following the unexpected death of my aunt in Cyprus, once I had spoken with them they gave clear advice over the service they could provide. From choosing there service they were in contact throughout the whole process and nothing was too much trouble, from my experience I would recommend them. The funeral directors in the uk also spoke highly of Homelands professionalism.

They did a great job in bringing my father home. Body was well preserved and managed. The start was slow, but once they started it moved fast.

I commend Emma and Omega funerals in Nigeria for being professional.

I gave my name and number to the receptionist over 10 times. This can be exasperating. After giving your details once or twice, your information should be stored. You shouldn't have to do it each time you call. It's inefficient a waste of time.

Thank you for your professional care in Edward (Ted) home to the UK.

Thank you for your professional care in dealing with me from my first contact with you, also from your agents in Australia both in New South Wales and in South Australia. I was treated with respect every step of the way and today I was advised that the journey home was complete.
Your respectful service is very much appreciated, and I would have no hesitation in recommending you to others.
