Dying Abroad and Repatriation

What to do

As your UK funeral director, we will work with you, an overseas funeral director and the British Consulate or Embassy to receive the deceased to the UK. You will be responsible for the travel costs and overseas funeral directors' fees.

Here are a couple of useful links from the Government:

We can also organise transportation from the UK for a committal abroad. For a guide to basic costs see our price list.

Thank you for organising Ron’s funeral. From looking after us as a family, to organising flowers, the Order of service, the chapel…Thank you…please can you also extend our thanks to the drivers who took great care of us all on the day.

Throughout the process for my Uncles funeral, Lorna and the team were amazing. Having never organised a funeral, let alone for someone who didn't have a will or specific wishes, Lorna walked me through the process excellently, and the team on the day were extremely professional too.

Levertons were calm, kind and professional from the day we met them. The day of the funeral was handled sensitively and all the staff were extremely polite and respectful. I would recommend Levertons to anyone, they treated us like family.

My mum was sent away with so much respect and class from Deborah and everyone at Levertons , they from the very first meeting took everything out of our hands and made the most beautiful funeral fitting for our very special and loved mum. I cannot recommend them enough
