International Repatriation

When someone dies far from home, the distance can make a difficult time even harder. Flynn’s Funeral Directors specialise in the international repatriation of remains, bringing loved ones home to Ireland from overseas, and taking loved ones from Ireland to be laid to rest in another country.

We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on (090) 647 2203 or 087 997 0823.

Bringing a Loved One Home

If a death occurs abroad, contact us as soon as you can. We will work with funeral directors, airlines and the relevant authorities overseas to arrange the necessary paperwork and bring your loved one home to Athlone or anywhere in Ireland.

Repatriation from Ireland Overseas

We also arrange for loved ones who die in Ireland to be returned to their home country. We look after the documents, embalming and travel arrangements needed, and keep the family informed at every step.

What We Take Care Of

Liaising with overseas funeral directors, embassies and authorities, the paperwork and permits for international transport, embalming and preparation for travel, and flights and transport to and from the airport.
