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.

Impeccable service. Very thoughtful, helpful and worry free especially during this difficult time.

I was extremely happy with the funeral I arranged with Levertons. Drew was extremely helpful and efficient throughout the organisation and I would definitely use Levertons again.

Over a period of years, this is the third funeral that Levetons have arranged for my family. The standard of service and attention to detail have been outstanding throughout. Cannot recommend highly enough.

From our very first meeting to the conclusion of my mother's funeral, the service we received from Levertons (and Drew in particular) was excellent. They were on top of everything, quick to respond, produced an excellent looking Order of Service, handled everything perfectly on the day of the funeral itself, and generally made us feel like we were in very safe hands during an emotional and difficult time.
