Repatriation


Middle East Assistance has positioned itself as the leader in repatriation assistance from the GCC to anywhere in the world.

Our extensive experience and the trust we have earned since 2006, enables us to provide our clients with the very best service, products and advice available.

We have partnered with a network of worldwide Repatriation Specialists and local industry leaders, and are able to manage the entire repatriation process, from the initial stages until the deceased is at the funeral home of choice.

The repatriation service includes:

  • Personal consultation with the family/company by an experienced Company Representative

  • Securing of all documentation and attestations required locally (this includes the police, Embassy, Municipality, legal translators, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and if applicable the Ministry of Justice)

  • Oversee the embalming process and transportation requirements

  • En-coffining with a choice of locally manufactured repatriation coffins and European styled coffins

  • Air-cargo, including the clearances at destination with transportation to the desired final location


The complete process takes three to four working days, on average, and we ensure that the client is well informed throughout the process with daily email updates and a dedicated WhatsApp group for any information that might be urgently required.

We also ensure that all documentation is securely stored as both hard and soft copies for possible future requirements.

In brief, Middle East Assistance will manage the entire process with dignity and respect in an extremely professional manner.
