Have questions about the repatriation process? We’ve answered some of the most common concerns to help guide you every step of the way.
Yes. Kenya requires the use of hermetically sealed coffins that meet international transportation standards. Our team provides coffins that comply with both UK export rules and Kenya’s entry regulations, ensuring the repatriation is accepted without complications.
Kenya has a diverse religious community, and we take great care to honour each family’s faith traditions. This includes respecting Islamic requirements for swift burials and Christian practices for viewing or services, while coordinating with local authorities and funeral homes in Kenya. Call us anytime for immediate guidance on repatriation to Kenya.
All human remains must go through customs clearance at Nairobi or Mombasa airports. Harmony International arranges this in advance by preparing the required paperwork, liaising with customs officials, and ensuring all transport and documentation meet Kenyan regulations.
The timeframe varies depending on the speed of paperwork, coroners’ reports, and Embassy approvals. In most cases, repatriation can be completed within 7–10 working days. Our team keeps families updated at every stage to provide reassurance during this sensitive time.
Yes. While our primary role is safe and respectful transportation, we also work with trusted funeral directors in Kenya to help families arrange local burial or memorial services if required. This ensures a smooth transition from repatriation to final arrangements. We also provide 24/7 multilingual support (English & Swahili).
We will discuss your particular case, as different countries will have different regulations and processes. As a general guide we recommend:
When a loved one dies outside of their country of residence, it can be a confusing and complicated situation, however rest assured we will be by your side throughout and liaise with all relevant parties to gather all the relevant documentation required to arrange flights back to the UK.
Once back in the UK we will arrange the transfer of your loved one from the airport to our care, and from there we can begin making funeral arrangement plans.
