Example Repatriation Pricing
The Prices for our repatriation services to China are fully itemised.
Usually the Passport, or other legal permits to travel, of the Deceased is required. If this is not available concise details to the Deceased identity will be required. We will advise of this process.
Documents Costs are significant to allow the repatriation to China to proceed:-
All documents need to be Notarised at a cost of £75.00 for the first and £25.00 each additional document. (Funeral Directors Declaration, Death Certificate and Corners out of England)
For those that cannot be Notarised, (FFI, Embalming Certificate etc..), an Affidavit will be sworn by our attending Funeral Director. The cost for this is £50.00 for the first and £10.00 each additional document.
Once this is completed all documents are legalised by us at The Legalisation Office of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office at a cost of £75.00 per Document. The documents under the Affidavit will count as one document.
All documents are finally taken to the Chinese Embassy for Autherisation at a cost of £15.00 per document.
Total documentation fees will usually be in the region of £535.00.
Only once the documentation is completed can the repatriation to China proceed.
