For many Romanian families in Britain, life has settled on the other side: the children, the house, the cemetery plot are now in the UK. When a parent or relative dies in Romania and the funeral is to be held in Britain, the journey home runs the other way — and no carrier knows this corridor better than we do, because our fleet is based directly on it, in Lugoj.
What the service includes
- Collection anywhere in Romania — from the hospital, the family home or the local funeral home, in any county.
- Every Romanian formality — the death certificate, the transport authorisation and mortuary passport, embalming and sanitary certificates, handled directly with the local authorities in Romanian.
- Regulation coffin certified for international transport, included.
- The journey to the UK — the European corridor our vehicles drive every week, through to the Channel and on to any city in Britain.
- Delivery to your chosen UK funeral director, with the arrival window confirmed so the ceremony can be planned with certainty.
UK-side guidance included
A death abroad can be registered with the UK authorities using the Romanian certificate, and your UK funeral director will need specific documents to proceed with the burial or cremation. We prepare the complete file — with certified translations — so nothing stalls after arrival.
Frequently asked questions
How much does repatriation from Romania to the UK cost?
The price depends on the collection point in Romania and the destination in the UK, and is quoted as a fixed, final figure on the first call — all Romanian formalities, the regulation coffin and the door-to-door journey included. Because our fleet is based on this corridor, the road price is hard to beat.
How long does the journey from Romania to the UK take?
Romanian paperwork is usually completed within days — we handle it directly with the local authorities. Once we set off, the road journey to the UK takes 48–72 hours, with confirmations at departure, at the border and at arrival.
Can the burial be in the UK if the death was registered in Romania?
Yes — the Romanian death certificate, with certified translation, is what your UK funeral director and the local authorities need. We provide the complete document file at handover, ready to use.
