Body Repatriation Costs
From case to case, the cost of repatriating a body differs greatly depending upon several variations. These depend upon such factors as the process required by a particular country, the requirements of an embassy and the distance of the flight. The range of prices vary between 2,200 euros to 15,000 euros, but on average it is usually between 3,000 to 6,000 euros.
In the case of the repatriation of ashes and depending upon the level of service required, the cost is lower being between 1,000 to 3,000 euros.
These costs are a rough guide only as some countries are habitually more expensive than others, and naturally, long flight repatriations are more expensive than shorter ones.
