Repatriation

When someone dies while visiting family, while on holiday or for work, it can be a challenging and emotional time for family  back in their home state or country..  Tribute Funeral Services offers domestic or international Repatriation Service to return a loved one home.
 
Our Repatriation Service can be as simple as arranging the person to be Air Freighted within a few days in a simple transport coffin or we can provide a Full Funeral Service to be held here in Melbourne for those family and friends who may not be able to travel interstate or overseas for the Funeral, while we concurrently work in the background to obtain the appropriate paperwork and airline/flight bookings to return a loved one home. This local Funeral Service is at no additional cost as part of our Traditional Repatriation Service.
