Transportation of the deceased from Lithuania to Ukraine

When a loved one passes away far from home — in Lithuania — 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 upon itself — completely.

We organize the repatriation of the body from Lithuania to Ukraine from the first call to the handover of the coffin to the family. You don’t deal with documents, don’t seek transport, don’t figure out local procedures. We know every step of this journey and go through it together with you.

We do everything from start to finish:

We take on the entire process - from the first call to the moment when your loved one returns home to Ukraine.
Everything that seems complicated becomes ordinary with us.
Everything that scares - we turn into confidence and calmness.

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 communicate with hospitals, the police, and local administration — officially and promptly. Death certificate, medical certificate, consular approvals — we arrange all this for you.

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

Permission for the export of the body. We obtain the official permission from the sanitary services for international transportation — without delays and bureaucratic difficulties.

Preparation of the body. Washing, dressing, cosmetics, if necessary — embalming. Everything is done delicately, in certified establishments in Lithuania, in compliance with 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 an agreed place. If desired, we assist with organizing the farewell.

How much does it cost in 2026?

The cost of repatriating a body from Lithuania to Ukraine in 2026 is from 1,200 to 1,900 euros. This amount includes a complete set of documents, body preparation, a coffin for international transport, and transportation to the destination in Ukraine.

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

We state the final price before starting work. No hidden fees or surprises later.

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

How long does it take?

Usually, from obtaining all documents to delivering the body to Ukraine takes 24–48 hours. We operate around the clock.

Can you pick up the body from Lithuania yourself?

No. For international repatriation, official documents, specialized transport, and permits from the sanitary services are required. This can only be done by a licensed funeral bureau.

What documents do you need to provide us for organizing the transportation of the body from Lithuania to Ukraine?

First of all, you need to:

• Sign a power of attorney;

• Fill out a form with the details of the deceased person in Lithuania;

• Fill out a statement to the Consulate;

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

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