Repatriation to Poland: your receiving funeral director

For funeral directors and insurers who need a partner in Poland. We are a family-run funeral home in Łódź, established in 1995. We can take on the whole Polish side, or a single stage.

What we handle

• Collection of the deceased or urn from the airport, border, mortuary or a funeral home abroad
• Road transport in our own specialist vehicle, in Poland and in Europe
• Coordination of road and air transport
• Application for the Polish burial permit (starosta or city mayor) under authorisation from the family
• Handover to a named funeral home in Poland, or a complete funeral in the Łódź area

Polish requirements in brief

1. The starosta or city mayor responsible for the place of burial issues a permit. The family or an authorised funeral home can apply.
2. The Polish consul responsible for the place of death issues a certificate allowing the body or ashes into Poland, based on that permit.
3. The consul’s requirements differ by country. Common items are the death certificate, a statement that the death was not caused by an infectious disease, and the funeral director’s statement on the sealed coffin or urn.

General information. We confirm current requirements with the responsible Polish consulate for each case.
