24/7 Global Repatriation Support
Bringing your family member home, wherever they are.
Meridian coordinates documentation, transport, and consular clearance to repatriate a loved one across international borders — managed by a single case team, from the first call to the moment they arrive home.
Case coordination — live
Illustrative, anonymizedWhat we coordinate
Everything a repatriation requires, under one case file.
A repatriation touches several jurisdictions at once. We hold the whole file together so no permit, signature, or flight is missed.
Documentation & permits
Death certificates, embalming certificates, consular mortuary permits, and certified translations, prepared to both countries’ requirements.
Mortuary preparation
Coordination with local funeral homes for embalming, cremation, or preparation to the receiving country’s standard.
Customs & border clearance
Compliance with import and export regulations for human remains at both origin and destination.
Air & ground transport
Cargo space booking, hearse transfers, and ground handling arranged and confirmed at both ends of the journey.
Family liaison
One coordinator assigned to your case, reachable at any hour, in your language, from first contact to arrival.
Insurance & embassy coordination
Direct communication with insurers, embassies, and consulates on your behalf, so you don’t have to repeat the case to each one.
How a case moves
Five stages, one coordinator, start to finish.
Each case follows the same sequence, whether it crosses two borders or five. See the full process, document by document →
First contact
Call the line or submit a case online. A coordinator is assigned within the hour and confirms what’s known so far.
Documentation
We gather and verify the certificates, permits, and translations required by both the origin and destination country.
Preparation
A local partner prepares the deceased to the receiving country’s standard, whether that means embalming or cremation.
Transport
We book and confirm the route — air cargo or ground transport — and share the itinerary with the family.
Arrival
A partner receives the case at destination and hands over to the family or their chosen funeral home.
“When a case involves three countries and two languages, we call Meridian first. They handle the parts a funeral home can’t reach on its own.” — Partner funeral director, Western Europe network
