What we do

Obtaining documents. We contact hospitals, police, and the local administration — officially and promptly. Death certificate, medical certificate, consular approvals — we take care of all this for you.

Translations and legalization. Every local document is translated and certified according to the requirements for crossing the border.

Permit for exporting the body. We obtain the official permission from sanitary authorities for international transportation — without delays and bureaucratic difficulties.

Body preparation. Washing, dressing, cosmetics, if necessary — embalming. Everything is done delicately, in certified establishments in Belgium, adhering to sanitary standards.

Transportation. A specialized funeral vehicle with a refrigerated compartment will deliver your loved one to any city or village in Ukraine — Lviv, Kyiv, Odesa, Ternopil, Kharkiv, and more.

Transfer to the family. We deliver the coffin home or to a designated place. If desired, we assist in organizing the farewell.

How much does it cost in 2026?

The cost of repatriating the body from Belgium to Ukraine in 2026 - from 1,200 to 1,900 euros. This amount includes a full package of documents, body preparation, a coffin for international transportation, and delivery to the destination in Ukraine.

The price depends on the city in Belgium where the death occurred and where the body needs to be delivered in Ukraine. Additional services — embalming, farewell ceremony — are agreed upon separately.

We specify the final price before starting work. No hidden surcharges or surprises afterwards.

If the deceased was insured — we will prepare all documents for the insurance company. In such cases, the transportation may be completely free for the family.

How long does it take?

Usually, from the moment we receive all documents to the delivery of the body to Ukraine, it takes 24–48 hours. We work around the clock.

Can the body be picked up from Belgium independently?

No. For international repatriation, official documents, specialized transportation, and permits from sanitary authorities are required. This can only be done by a licensed funeral home.

What documents do we need for organizing the transportation of the body from Belgium to Ukraine?

First of all, you need to:

• Sign a power of attorney;

• Fill out a questionnaire with the details of the deceased in Belgium;

• Fill out a statement to the Consulate;

• Provide copies of passports, birth and marriage (divorce) certificates;

• Provide a certificate from the cemetery about the availability of burial space in Ukraine.
