If your loved one needs to be brought home or transported in New Zealand or overseas, we can guide you for what needs to be done and make arrangements.

Within NZ

Unfortunately, sometimes a person dies while away from home. When this occurs, it may be necessary to arrange the transportation of their remains to their hometown.

​Whether they are far away or just down the road, the team at Aoraki Funeral Services will make all of the arrangements required to transport the deceased from anywhere within New Zealand.

From a Foreign Country

It is possible that your loved one has passed away whilst on holiday or working overseas.

Repatriating their remains back to New Zealand is certainly achievable but can take a little time and paperwork to accomplish, depending upon where they died.
Talk to us about the best ways to bring them home.

To a Foreign Country

If your loved one wished to be repatriated after death to the land of their birth, please contact us to discuss the options open to you.

​The rules and regulations vary considerably depending upon the country. We have up-to-date information about the steps you will need to take and the documentation you will need to send your loved one home.
