Repatriation
Whilst our insurance does not cover for repatriation of the deceased's body you can make arrangements to have the ashes transported back to their homeland. This should be stipulated to the Funeral Director arranging the cremation to ensure the appropriate vessel is supplied for on-board flight travel and paperwork. You will require their ID, death and certificate of cremation. Airlines should also be contacted to make them aware that you are carrying ashes. Permission also needs to be obtained from Spanish authorities to remove the remains from Spain. If possible, it is also advantegous to contact your local Spanish consulate to ensure a smooth arrival into the homeland of your loved one.
