When a loved one passes away in Switzerland and the family wishes to return them to their country of origin, the repatriation process involves a number of administrative and logistical formalities. Thanks to our long-standing relationships with foreign embassies and consulates in Switzerland and our extensive experience in international funeral transportation, "les pompes funèbres Murith"can coordinate the necessary arrangements quickly and efficiently.

​

We take care of the formalities required for the repatriation of the deceased to their country of origin, regardless of where the death occurred in Switzerland. Our team coordinates with the relevant authorities, diplomatic and consular representatives, airlines and transport providers to ensure that every stage of the process is handled with care and professionalism.

​

If the family wishes, a farewell ceremony can be organised at "Chapelle de la cluse" in Geneva before the deceased leaves Switzerland. This provides family members and loved ones who are present in Geneva with an opportunity to gather and pay their final respects.

Depending on the destination and the family's wishes, we can arrange air transportation to the airport closest to the place of burial.

​

Where possible, we can also contact the airline to request seats for family members travelling on the same flight as their loved one.

For destinations accessible by road, we can arrange direct funeral transportation to the deceased's country of origin or final destination, without unnecessary transfers. Where appropriate, a family member may also accompany the deceased during the journey.

​

Throughout the process, our team remains available to guide and support the family. From the initial formalities to the final transportation, Murith Funeral Services ensures that international funeral repatriation is handled with discretion, efficiency and respect.
