Bringing your loved one home
At Pitcher & Le Quesne Funeral Directors, we understand the additional heartache that can arise when a loved one passes far from Jersey.
Whether living, working or simply holidaying in the UK or elsewhere in the world, knowing that they will be returned safely to the place they considered home can provide a small comfort at an otherwise uncertain time.
How we repatriate your loved one to Jersey
We ensure that delays are kept to a minimum by starting the repatriation process as soon as you request it. This includes arranging the necessary paperwork and liaising with Funeral Directors looking after your loved one while they await return.
The repatriation to Jersey will take place by sea, a far more dignified method of transfer than the alternative of flying as cargo. Repatriation by sea allows one of our team to travel over by hearse and collect from the funeral home, escorting your loved one back home and to the tranquil surroundings of our own chapel of rest.
We work with the H.M. Coroner Service, along with a network of Funeral Directors throughout the UK and others across the world, so that every aspect of their repatriation goes to plan and your loved one arrives safely back in Jersey.
