Repatriation of remains

Repatriation of remains refers to the process of returning a deceased person's body or ashes from a foreign country back to their home country. This process involves coordination between governments, embassies, and funeral services to ensure compliance with legal, cultural, and logistical requirements. It often includes obtaining necessary documents, respecting burial or cremation preferences, and arranging transportation. Repatriation helps families honor their loved ones according to their cultural or religious practices, providing closure and respecting the individual's wishes while managing the complexities of international regulations.
