Transfer of the Deceased & Repatriation
For many Greek families abroad, expatriates and international relatives, the transfer or repatriation of the deceased is not only a legal procedure but also a final wish that must be fulfilled with dignity.
At Athens Funerals, we provide experienced, fully coordinated transfer of the deceased and repatriation services for every practical need, handling each stage with respect, speed and professional care:
We arrange the transfer of the deceased from Athens to any region of Greece and from the provinces to Athens, serving mainland destinations and islands alike.
We also organise the repatriation of remains from abroad to Greece or from Greece to another country for burial, cremation or family arrangements.
Transfers & Repatriation Across Greece and Europe
We arrange the transport and repatriation of remains, bones or ashes to any destination in Greece, including islands, and to international destinations when required.
We can also coordinate transport for relatives to and from the last place of residence of the deceased, using reliable vehicles and acting with full respect for every culture and tradition.
When needed, we assist with the timely issue of travel arrangements for family members living abroad who wish to attend the funeral or cremation service.
