What to do when a loved one dies abroad
repatriation of remains abroad
After the death of a relative or friend abroad you will have many questions to find answers to. What should I do now? How can I communicate with people in a foreign language? Who can I turn to for help?
If a loved one dies abroad while on holiday, while working overseas or as an expat, they are subject to the policies and laws regarding the passing of a life of the country in which they died.
Whatever the circumstances, if you wish for the funeral to take place in the Nigeria or if you want the body buried or cremated here, the body will need to be repatriated. Alternatively, you might want the loved one to be buried (or less likely cremated) locally, or that might have been their desired wish.
