Our services

An important responsibility for funeral directors is ensuring that the deceased are transported safely to the place of burial or cremation. Where long distances are involved, the arrangements are often complex and, over the years, specialist organisations have emerged to deal with the certification, legal formalities and practical issues involved.

Experience is therefore essential in this field, and Albin International Repatriation continues to be at the forefront of the repatriation process. Albin International are the only IATA (International Air Transportation Association) registered Funeral Directors.
