Repatriation of the deceased from Europe to Ukraine

It is sad to realize, but any life ends with death, and no one knows where it will be met. It is especially difficult for relatives if a person dear to their heart has left this world hundreds of kilometers from home, on a foreign land. In the event of death, the relatives of the deceased have only one question: “How to send the body of a relative to the Motherland for burial in the native country?”.

If the death occurred abroad, it is very difficult to carry out all the necessary measures for the delivery of the body (repatriation from Europe) on your own.

The procedure requires the execution of a certain set of documents that give permission for the body of the deceased and accompanying persons to cross the border. Shipment of cargo 200 is accompanied by the following documents:

Death certificate with wet seal
Translation of passport data
Help about embalming
Certificate about the absence of viruses in the coffin
Certificate about the absence of foreign objects in the coffin
When transporting by car, a certificate of compliance with all requirements for transporting the body is required
Permit from the embassy of the host country
In cases of criminal investigation of death – a certificate from the prosecutor’s office

Transportation in a container. For transportation, the body must be placed in a zinc coffin or a wooden one with metal lining. The coffin is hermetically sealed. When transported by plane or railway, the coffin must be in a wooden box, the space of which is filled with sawdust.

Certificate of inspection of the container. It is necessary to obtain a certificate of the absence of foreign objects in the container, as well as the absence of viruses. Obviously, it is difficult to meet the requirements on your own.

In each specific case, the issue of repatriation from Europe to Ukraine will have to be resolved differently, as it depends on the rules of the country where the death occurred. That is, the set of necessary documents and the terms of their submission may differ.
