At Kenyon Emergency Services, we recognise that bringing a loved one home is a deeply personal and sensitive part of disaster recovery. Our experienced team ensures that every step is handled with the utmost care, respect, and attention to detail.
By working closely with families, honouring cultural and religious traditions, and coordinating with the necessary authorities, we provide a seamless and dignified repatriation service tailored to individual needs. Repatriation is more than a logistical process - it is an emotional journey for the families involved.
Every culture and religion has unique customs surrounding death and bereavement. We take great care to understand and honor these traditions, ensuring that our repatriation process aligns with families’ values and expectations. Whether it involves special rituals, prayers, embalming preferences, or specific materials for transportation, we accommodate all requirements with sensitivity and professionalism.
We collaborate with religious leaders, community representatives, and cultural advisors to ensure that the repatriation process respects the beliefs of the deceased and their family. This may involve ensuring a timely repatriation in line with religious customs, accommodating specific dress codes, or arranging appropriate rites before departure.
Repatriation requires meticulous planning, and our team is dedicated to managing every aspect with professionalism. We handle all necessary documentation, including death certificates, permits, and customs clearance, ensuring full compliance with local and international regulations.
Transportation arrangements are managed with the highest standard of care, whether by air or land. We prepare the deceased in accordance with family wishes and cultural requirements and provide continuous updates to keep loved ones informed throughout the journey.
We maintain strong relationships with embassies, consulates, and relevant authorities in both the country of passing and the destination country. These partnerships allow us to expedite processes where possible, ensuring timely repatriation while maintaining full legal compliance.
Whether handling a single loss or a mass fatality incident, our experienced team ensures a seamless and sympathetic repatriation process. We recognise the emotional and logistical challenges families face, and we are committed to providing professional guidance and unwavering support every step of the way.
We have extensive experience handling national and international repatriations, including mass fatality incidents. Following a tragic runway accident in Libya in 2010, resulting in the death of 103 people, we deployed a team of trained specialists to facilitate the dignified return of international victims to their families across multiple countries, ensuring a respectful and smooth process for all involved.
