What we do

Obtaining documents. We contact hospitals, police, and local administration — officially and promptly. Death certificate, medical report, consular approvals — we handle all this on your behalf.

Translations and legalization. Every 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 permit from health services for international transportation — without delays and bureaucratic difficulties.

Preparation of the body. Washing, dressing, cosmetics, and if necessary — embalming. Everything is done delicately, in certified institutions in Norway, in accordance with sanitary standards.

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

Handover to the family. We deliver the coffin to your home or an agreed place. If desired, we assist with the organization of farewell.

How much does it cost in 2026?

The cost of repatriating the body from Norway to Ukraine in 2026 is from 1,200 to 1,900 euros. 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 Norway where the funeral occurred and where the body needs to be delivered in Ukraine. Additional services — embalming, farewell ceremony — are negotiated separately.

We state the final price before starting work. No hidden charges or surprises afterwards.

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

How long does it take?

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

Can you pick up the body from Norway on your own?

No. Official documents, specialized transport, and permits from health services are required for international repatriation. This can only be done by a licensed funeral home.

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

First of all, you need to:

• Sign a power of attorney;

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

• Fill out a statement to the Consulate;

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

• Provide a certificate from the cemetery confirming the availability of a burial place in Ukraine.
