As part of our repatriation service to Poland, we will obtain the necessary permits that allows transportation of the Deceased from the United Kingdom to Poland.
We work with Funeral Directors in Poland to provide a speedy yet professional service. As soon as all relevant paperwork is completed we aim to inform you of the flight details within two hours, allowing you to book your own flight tickets on the same flight if desired.
Special Procedure
A permission issued by the local authorities in Poland (the STAROSTWO or PREENT of the Town or City) allowing for the body to be transported to Poland and buried at a designated place is always required.
Such permission is obtained by applying directly to the relevant authorities in Poland, depending on the intended place of burial, via the family representative in Poland or most usually via the Polish Funeral Director.
We will then deliver this authorisation together with payment (£47.00) and all other required documents to the Consular Section of the Polish Embassy in London to obtain the permission to allow transportation.
This will then be submitted to the Polish Customs Officer.
