Trust us to handle an international or domestic repatriation with care and expertise. We are here to support you through every step of the journey.
International Repatriation Services
When a death occurs overseas or involves someone travelling from another country, it can be an incredibly stressful time for families. Depending on the country where the death has occurred, specialist documentation and specific preparations of the deceased may be required to ensure they can be transported to the location of the funeral service.
Our company specialises in repatriations and has extensive experience assisting families with the return of a loved one internationally. We work closely with all major insurance companies and are well-versed in the necessary procedures and documentation. Additionally, we maintain strong relationships with embassies worldwide, enabling us to navigate international requirements efficiently and with respect. Whether you need to send someone abroad or bring them home, we are here to manage the entire process on your behalf with care and professionalism.
Domestic Repatriation Services
When a death occurs away from home, even within New Zealand, it can present unexpected challenges for families. Harbour City Funeral Home understands how important it is to bring your loved one home with dignity and care. Whether the death has occurred in another city, region, or island, our experienced team is here to manage every detail of the domestic repatriation process.
We coordinate with hospitals, coroners, and transportation providers across the country— including air transfer services where necessary—to ensure a smooth and respectful return. Our staff are well-versed in the procedures and documentation required for inter-regional and inter-island transfers, and we prioritise clear communication and support for families throughout.
With our trusted network and logistical expertise, you can rely on us to return your loved one home safely and efficiently, allowing you to focus on planning a meaningful farewell in the place that matters most.
