Transfers from the USA - worldwide repatriations with experience

A death in the United States not only brings emotional stress, but also major organisational challenges. Different states in the USA each have their own regulations, documents have to be translated, notarised and in some cases confirmed by embassies. It is often almost impossible for relatives to keep track of everything. As an experienced funeral home specialising in international repatriations, we provide professional and sensitive support for repatriations from the USA. We ensure that all the necessary steps are taken correctly, quickly and with dignity - from issuing the death certificate to coordinating with the US embassy and repatriation to the home country.

Your benefits for transfers to or from the USA

The USA is considered to be particularly strict in terms of import and export regulations - even in the case of funerals. We know the procedures inside out and work closely with consulates, health authorities, airlines and US funeral directors. We take care of everything for you:

• All formalities with the US embassy or consulate
• Organisation of the transport of corpses via air freight
• Support with the issue of Death certificates, corpse passports and transport authorisations
• Legally compliant processing in accordance with German AND US standards

All documents, authorisations and flight bookings - from a single source

The international repatriation of deceased persons from the USA requires numerous documents: an international death certificate, a corpse passport, medical certificates, authorisations from health authorities and transport clearance from the US embassy. It is also necessary to organise the flight, including special requirements for packaging and customs formalities. We support you in all these tasks with a comprehensive all-round service. Our staff speak German, English, French and Spanish and will take care of all communication with authorities, embassies and airlines for you. We take care of the correct flight booking, all accompanying documents and the safe handover of the deceased to the destination - legally compliant and with the utmost respect.

Over 25 years of experience - repatriations from all US states

Whether from New York, California, Florida, Texas or another federal state - we have organised hundreds of repatriations from the USA over the last few decades. We also support you with expertise and sensitivity when repatriating from Europe to the United States. Our international partners and our many years of experience in dealing with cultural, religious and linguistic peculiarities make us a reliable companion at a particularly sensitive time. 

With International Funeral, you have a strong partner at your side who is there for you worldwide - personally, discreetly and with the highest standards of care and humanity.
