Repatriation of bodies to abroad

Once a coroner has granted permission, a funeral director will be able to make the necessary arrangements. 

Afterwards you will be given a removal notice, a section of which is sent to the registrar after the funeral.

Permission must always be obtained where a funeral is to take place outside England or Wales. This applies in all cases where a body is to be moved out of England or Wales, not just where a death was reported to the coroner.
