How body repatriation works
At EASEASSIST we provide everything required for the repatriation of remains.
Typically, repatriation takes between 5 to 7 days, however in certain situations such as if a coroner is involved, the time frame might be slightly longer. Once in our care, our team will care for the person who has died, complete the embalming which is required for repatriation, and prepare the coffin for international transportation.
Begin arrangements
We hope that this helps answer some of your questions. To proceed with our services, we require you to complete our authorisation form which can be emailed, posted or completed at one of our offices in Egypt. Once we have received the death certificate and passport, we can begin the repatriation procedure and will keep you updated at every stage.
