Bulgaria sits at the far end of the corridor our fleet drives continuously — which means a collection in Sofia, Plovdiv or a Black Sea town is not an exotic mission for us; it is our road, driven in the other direction. For families in Britain, that translates into one call, one team and one fixed price for the whole journey.
What the service includes
- Collection anywhere in Bulgaria — from the hospital, the morgue or the local funeral agency.
- Every Bulgarian formality — the death certificate from the municipality, the international transport permit, embalming and health certificates, handled directly in Bulgarian through the local funeral home.
- Regulation coffin certified for international transport, included.
- The road journey to the UK — the full European corridor with our own certified fleet, with confirmations at each stage.
- Delivery to your chosen UK funeral director, with the arrival window agreed in advance.
The UK side, prepared
The Bulgarian death certificate, with certified translation, is what your UK funeral director and the authorities need for the burial or cremation to proceed. The complete, translated file is part of what we hand over at arrival.
Frequently asked questions
How much does repatriation from Bulgaria to the UK cost?
The price depends on the collection point and the UK destination, and is quoted as a fixed, final figure on the first call — all Bulgarian formalities, the regulation coffin and the complete road journey included.
How long does the journey from Bulgaria to the UK take?
Bulgarian paperwork is usually completed within days, handled through the local funeral home. The road journey itself takes two to three days, with the arrival window confirmed before departure.
A British citizen died on holiday in Bulgaria — where do we start?
With one phone call to us, at any hour. If travel insurance exists, we can liaise with the insurer; either way, we take over the Bulgarian side immediately and keep the family informed at every step.
