When facilitating the international transportation of ashes, whether to or from any region in the United Kingdom, specific documentation is essential. Bright Goodbyes ensures a thorough and compassionate approach, requiring the following documents for the repatriation of ashes:
-
Signed Authorization:
- A signed authorization from the family or relatives is mandatory. This document grants Bright Goodbyes the permission to repatriate the ashes internationally. Additionally, a valid ID of the relative providing the authorization is required.
-
Death Certificate:
- The death certificate is a fundamental document that provides official verification of the individual's passing. This is a crucial component of the documentation required for international repatriation.
-
Cremation Certificate:
- A certificate confirming the cremation is necessary for the repatriation process. This document validates the method of disposition and is a key element in the transportation of ashes.
-
Crematorium Attestation:
- An attestation from the crematorium is essential. This document confirms that the cremation has taken place and explicitly states that the specified urn contains the ashes of the named deceased only.
-
Sealing Certificate:
- A sealing certificate is required to verify that the urn containing the ashes is securely sealed. This ensures the integrity of the remains during the international transportation process.
It's important to note that additional documents may be necessary based on the specific requirements of the origin and destination countries. Bright Goodbyes acknowledges these potential variations and provides full support and guidance to family and relatives in obtaining and verifying the required documents.
With a commitment to assisting families through this challenging process, Bright Goodbyes offers comprehensive support, ensuring that all necessary documentation is in order for the respectful and seamless repatriation of ashes internationally.
