For the Romanian community — the second-largest European community in the UK — bringing a loved one home is not a logistical preference; it is a duty of the heart. We are a Romanian-founded company, part of the MGM family with over 15 years of international repatriation experience, and the UK-to-Romania route is the one our fleet drives most. We speak your language in both senses: the language of the family at home, and the language of UK registrars, coroners and hospitals.
What the service includes, end to end
- Collection anywhere in the UK — London, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Bristol, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Belfast or any other town, from any hospital, hospice, coroner's facility or funeral home.
- Every document, in both countries — registration paperwork, the coroner's “Out of England” permission, embalming and freedom-from-infection certificates, the international mortuary passport, plus the documents Romanian authorities need so the funeral can take place without delays.
- Regulation coffin certified for international transport, included in the price.
- Door-to-door road transport in our own internationally certified Mercedes fleet — the same vehicle from the UK to the family's gate.
- Updates you do not have to ask for — confirmation at departure, at the border and at arrival.
Fixed price: €2,800 – €4,200, all-inclusive
Where your route sits inside the range depends on the collection point in the UK and the destination in Romania — a Dover-to-Arad journey is shorter than an Inverness-to-Iași one. The figure you receive on the first call is fixed and final. Use the instant estimator for your route, or call and we will price it while you are on the line.
The journey: 24–48 hours from departure
Once the UK paperwork is released, the journey itself is precise: our vehicles cross via the Channel and drive the European corridor to the western border at Nădlac, then onward to any county. Families planning the funeral can set the date with confidence — we confirm the arrival window before departure and have never left a family waiting.
By air, when preferred
Some families prefer air transport to Bucharest, Cluj or Timișoara — we arrange that too, including the zinc-lined coffin airlines require and handling at both airports. On this route, road is usually the faster door-to-door option once paperwork is done, and the more economical one; we will lay out both honestly on the call.

Between €2,800 and €4,200 (≈ £2,400–£3,600), depending on the collection city in the UK and the destination in Romania.

You can also estimate your route instantly here.
How long does transport from the UK to Romania take?
Road transport takes 24–48 hours from departure, depending on the destination in Romania and traffic conditions. The departure itself depends on when the UK documents are released — a process we push forward daily and typically measured in days.
Can you deliver to any locality in Romania?
Yes — to the family home, the church or the local funeral home, in any city, town or village, from Satu Mare to Constanța. The final address is agreed with the family before departure, and we confirm arrival in advance so everything is ready.
What about a funeral in the Republic of Moldova?
We also continue journeys onward to the Republic of Moldova — the route and formalities are arranged the same way. Mention it on the first call and the fixed quote will cover the full journey.
