Repatriation from Poland to the UK

After decades of settled life in Britain, many Polish families find that home has quietly moved: the children were born in the UK, the family grave is now in a British cemetery. When a parent dies in Poland — or a loved one dies while visiting — the journey we usually drive eastward runs in reverse, and we run it just as completely.

What the service includes

• Collection anywhere in Poland — from the hospital, the family home or the local zakład pogrzebowy, in any voivodeship.
• Every Polish formality — the death certificate from the USC, the international transport permit, embalming and sanitary certificates, all handled directly in Polish through the local funeral home.
• Regulation coffin certified for international transport, included.
• The road journey to the UK — across Germany and the Channel with our own certified fleet, with confirmations along the way.
• Delivery to your chosen UK funeral director, with the arrival window agreed in advance so the ceremony can be planned with certainty.

The UK side, prepared

Your UK funeral director will need the Polish death certificate with a certified translation to proceed with the burial or cremation, and the death can also be recorded with the UK authorities. The complete file is part of what we hand over — nothing for the family to chase afterwards.
