Transportation of the deceased from Poland to Ukraine
When a loved one passes away far from home — in Poland — the family is left alone with grief and a multitude of unfamiliar questions. What to do first? Who to turn to? How to bring the deceased person home?
Vespera takes this burden upon itself — completely.
We organize the repatriation of the body from Poland to Ukraine from the first phone call to the transfer of the coffin to the family. You do not deal with documents, do not search for transportation, do not clarify local procedures. We know every step of this journey and go through it together with you.

Everything that seems complicated, we make ordinary.

What we do
Obtaining documents. We contact hospitals, police, and local authorities - officially and swiftly. Death certificate, medical certificate, consular approvals - we handle all of this for you.
Translations and legalization. Each local document is translated and certified according to the requirements for crossing the border.
Permission to export the body. We obtain the official permission from the sanitary authorities 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 Poland, in compliance with sanitary standards.
Transportation. A specialized funeral vehicle with a refrigeration 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 to your home or an agreed location. If desired, we assist with the organization of the farewell.
How much does it cost in 2026?
The cost of repatriation of the body from Poland to Ukraine in 2026 is from 1,200 to 1,900 euros. This amount includes a complete package of documents, preparation of the body, a coffin for international transportation, and transportation to the destination in Ukraine.
The price depends on the city in Poland where the passing occurred, and on where the body needs to be delivered in Ukraine. Additional services - embalming, farewell ceremony - are agreed upon separately.
We provide the final price before starting work. No hidden fees or surprises afterward.
If the deceased was insured - we will prepare all documents for the insurance company. In such cases, transportation may be completely free for the family.
How long does it take?
Usually, it takes 24–48 hours from obtaining all the documents to delivering the body to Ukraine. We work around the clock.
Can the body be picked up from Poland independently?
No. For international repatriation, official documents, specialized transport, and permits from sanitary authorities are required. This can only be done by a licensed funeral home.
