Exhumation involves the removal of a body or remains of a deceased person from a grave. It is most often carried out for a specific purpose related to forensic examinations or to relocate and reinter the remains in another place.

After the passing of a loved one abroad, most families decide to bring them back to Poland to arrange a final farewell and burial in their home country. From a legal standpoint, transporting an urn with ashes is less complicated and involves lower costs than transporting a coffin. However, this does not mean that the transport of an urn with ashes is not subject to specific regulations and procedures.

Of course. You can count on our assistance with handling the formalities, arranging the transport of your spouse’s body or ashes, and preparing the funeral ceremony.

Remember that the right to repatriate the body belongs to relatives (including spouses) of the deceased up to the fourth degree of kinship. In Poland, the current legal basis for repatriating the body of the deceased to the country is Article 14 of the 1959 Act on Cemeteries and Burial of the Deceased.

We understand that this is a very difficult time for you. We fully empathize, and if you decide to hold the funeral ceremony in Poland and need help with completing the formalities, we will do everything possible to relieve you of the burden of administrative duties.
