Cremation of Remains in England and Transportation of the Urn with Ashes to Poland

Cremation of remains in England and the transport of the urn to Poland are aspects that often raise many questions and concerns.

Families are often misled by suggestions that cremation in the UK and the transport of ashes might be a more cost-effective solution. However, the reality is somewhat different. The cost of cremation in the UK ranges between £800 and £3000. Additionally, the waiting time for cremation is a minimum of 48 hours, as stipulated by local regulations. However, this period is often significantly extended due to the heavy workload of crematoriums in the region.

Alongside the basic cremation fee, there are additional costs, such as:

Transport of the body between the mortuary and the crematorium
Purchase of a cremation urn or casket
Storage fees for the body in a cold room
Disinfection fees

Many family members opt to transport the remains from the UK and perform the cremation in Poland. This decision significantly reduces the costs associated with transporting ashes from England to Poland and accelerates the process of preparing for the funeral.

There is also the option of conducting the cremation in the UK, after which the ashes can be personally transported by the family. However, this usually involves much higher costs and a longer waiting period for the funeral.
