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

How much does it cost in 2026?

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

The price depends on the city in Spain where the tragedy occurred and where the body needs to be delivered in Ukraine. Additional services - embalming, farewell ceremony - are agreed separately.

We name the final price before starting work. No hidden fees or surprises afterwards.

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

How long does it take?

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

Can the body be picked up from Spain by oneself?

No. For international repatriation, official documents, specialized transport, and permits from health authorities are needed. This can only be carried out by a licensed funeral home.

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