We’ve built our reputation as the preferred repatriation service for the African diaspora, and that experience runs deep. African funerals often take place three to six months after a death, so we developed our own tropical embalming process specifically to preserve the deceased through that longer timeline, even in hot climates.
We now have one of the most comprehensive networks across Africa of any UK funeral director, with our own branch already open in Ghana and a second planned in Kenya. Wherever your loved one needs to go, we know how to get them there.
Call us any time, day or night, and we'll explain exactly what's needed for the country you're repatriating to.
Requirements vary widely across Africa. Some countries need consular sign-off, others don't, so we handle the paperwork specific to your destination.
We prepare your loved one using our tropical embalming process, then arrange the flight to the relevant African airport.
We work with our own branches and trusted local partners across the continent to take care of everything once your loved one arrives.
We keep you updated at every stage, so you're never left wondering what's happening or when.

And all other African countries
African funerals often happen months after a death. Our own tropical embalming process is designed to preserve your loved one properly through that time, even in high heat, so an open casket and a proper goodbye are still possible.
With our own branch in Ghana, a second planned in Kenya, and one of the most comprehensive networks across Africa of any UK funeral director, we know the people and processes in the countries that matter most.
We can take your loved one from anywhere in the UK to major airports across Africa and on to wherever their family is waiting, coordinating the full journey ourselves.
