At Kane & Fetterly, we provide complete repatriation services to and from Canada.

Our experienced team ensures your loved one’s safe, respectful, and timely return—handling every detail so you’re not alone in the process.

What is repatriation?

Repatriation is the process of returning a deceased person to their home country, state, or hometown for burial or cremation. This often involves working with:

  • Airlines and cargo services
  • Foreign consulates or embassies
  • Customs and legal documentation
  • Local funeral homes or cemeteries at the destination

What we handle for you:

We coordinate every step of the repatriation process, including:

  • Removal and professional preparation of the deceased
  • Obtaining necessary permits, death certificates, and international documentation
  • Translation of legal documents (if needed)
  • Flight booking and embalming to international standards (if required)
  • Coordination with funeral directors abroad or at the receiving location
  • Secure shipping and tracking
