Bringing or Sending Your Loved One HomeLosing a loved one can be an overwhelming and devastating experience. If the death occurred overseas, it adds to the emotional pain and stress as you are not physically present with your loved one. At The Life Celebrant, we understand what you may be going through. We can provide you with support and assistance including international funeral repatriation and expatriation services. Whether you are looking to bring a family member home, or send a loved one back to their home abroad, our extensive experience in inbound and outbound funeral repatriation will ensure a safe, dignified journey for the departed. |
In the event that a loved one passed away overseas, we can make the travel arrangements to bring them back to Singapore safely. We work together with local authorities and funeral directors in the relevant countries worldwide to facilitate repatriation. Once your loved one has returned to Singapore, we can assist in arranging a proper funeral or a sea, land, or green burial as well. This way, you will be able to perform the final rites and say your final goodbyes.
If your loved one is a foreigner who passed away in Singapore, you may choose to conduct the ceremony in Singapore followed by cremation. Thereafter we will send the ashes back home. Alternatively, you may choose to have your loved one embalmed and expatriated back to their hometown.

1. What happens during a Funeral Repatriation?
During a Funeral Repatriation, TLC helps you to bring or the the dearly departed back home so that the bereaved family can prepare for the funeral. This is an essential service to ensure that those who have passed on are able to 'go back home' and be around their loved ones who want to say their final goodbyes.

2. What do I need to take note of before organising a funeral repatriation service?
