Funeral abroad
There may be various reasons why a family chooses to arrange a burial abroad. The most common is that a person who has lived in Sweden for many years wishes to be buried in their country of origin. Organising a funeral abroad requires extensive planning and preparation, which can take valuable time and energy during an already difficult period. Fonus International can therefore assist you, managing the entire process with the knowledge and experience required.
Arranging a funeral abroad
We have extensive experience in assisting with the transport of deceased persons and arranging funerals outside Sweden. Together with the next of kin we plan the final journey of the deceased, with the utmost care taken to ensure a safe and respectful handling of the coffin or urn.
Fonus International supports you throughout the entire process
At Fonus International we take care of everything required regarding documentation, certificates, contacts with authorities, embassies or consulates, as well as all logistics related to the transport to the destination country.
We can also connect you with local contacts who can assist with the funeral arrangements in the receiving country. For many years Fonus has maintained well-established partnerships with SOS International, Falck and several other major organisations within the funeral sector in Europe and around the world.
