Transportation of Deceased from Czech Republic to Ukraine
When a loved one passes away far from home — in the Czech Republic — the family finds themselves alone with their pain and a multitude of unfamiliar questions. What should be done first? Who to turn to? How to bring the loved one back home?
Vespera takes this burden completely upon itself.
We organize the repatriation of the body from the Czech Republic to Ukraine from the first phone call to handing over the coffin to the family. You do not deal with documents, do not search for transport, do not clarify local procedures. We know every step of this path and walk it together with you.

We take on the entire process - from the first call to the moment when the loved one returns home to Ukraine.
Everything that seems complicated, we make routine.
Everything that scares - we turn into confidence and peace.

We communicate with hospitals, the police, the municipality - quickly, officially, without delays.
The family does not need to search or translate anything - we will do everything.

What We Do
Obtaining documents. We contact hospitals, the police, and local administration — officially and promptly. The death certificate, medical report, consular approvals — we arrange everything on your behalf.
Translations and legalization. Every local document is translated and certified according to the requirements for crossing the border.
Permission for the removal of the body. We obtain the official permission from health services for international transportation — without delays and bureaucratic difficulties.
Preparation of the body. Washing, dressing, cosmetics, and, if necessary, embalming. All is performed delicately, in certified establishments in the Czech Republic, adhering to sanitary norms.
Transportation. A specialized ceremonial vehicle with a refrigeration compartment will deliver the loved one to any city or village in Ukraine — Lviv, Kyiv, Odesa, Ternopil, Kharkiv, and more.
Handing over to the family. We deliver the coffin home or to an agreed location. Upon request, we help organize the farewell.
How Much Does It Cost in 2026?
The cost of repatriating the body from the Czech Republic to Ukraine in 2026 — from €1,200 to €1,900. This amount includes a complete package of documents, body preparation, a coffin for international transport, and transportation to the destination in Ukraine.
The price depends on the city in the Czech Republic where the death occurred and where the body needs to be delivered in Ukraine. Additional services — embalming, farewell ceremony — are agreed separately.
We provide the final price before starting work. No hidden surcharges or surprises later.
If the deceased was insured — we will prepare all the documents for the insurance company. In such cases, transportation may be completely free for the family.
How Long Does It Take?
Usually, from the receipt of all documents to the delivery of the body to Ukraine takes 24–48 hours. We work around the clock.
Can the Body Be Collected from the Czech Republic Independently?
No. For international repatriation, official documents, specialized transport, and permission from health services are required. This can only be carried out by a licensed funeral agency.
What Documents Do We Need to Organize the Transportation of the Body from the Czech Republic to Ukraine?
