What makes up the repatriation cost

The estimate usually includes these required items. Exact amounts are given after a consultation.

Morgue storage: in many European countries it is billed per day — so faster paperwork often reduces this line.
Body preparation: sanitary care and dressing; embalming or restoration when needed.
Casket with zinc liner: an international route needs a sealed casket.
Document arrangement: death certificate, medical papers, permits, consular support, and notarized translations — per the rules of the countries on the route.
Transport by specialized hearse along the agreed road route.
Transport within Ukraine: delivery from the border to the burial city.
Optional: farewell afterward in Ukraine, ritual items, family accompaniment. Cost is calculated separately.

Insurance and reducing costs

Sometimes part of the cost can be covered by insurance. We help gather and prepare documents for the insurer — so you do not pay more where there is a lawful way to reduce the expense.

Frequently asked questions

Short answers. We will clarify the details of your situation on a call.

Someone died in Poland. What should we do?

First contact the local services and register the death. Then call us — we will explain which documents your case needs and take on arranging transport to Ukraine.

Can we transport the body or ashes from Poland to Ukraine ourselves?

Taking the body yourself in a regular car usually does not meet the requirements. Permits, special preparation, and licensed transport are needed. Ashes (an urn) are also transported under special rules. Contact us — we will explain what is required.

How much does transporting the body / ashes from Poland to Ukraine cost?

There is no fixed price: cost depends on the route, documents, and preparation. We give an estimate after a consultation, taking individual circumstances into account. If insurance applies — we help with documents for cost reimbursement.

How long does the whole process take?

We agree timelines after a consultation. They depend on documents, permits, and conditions along the route. We explain a realistic sequence — without guesswork promises.

Can the body be transported from Poland to Ukraine under martial law?

Yes, repatriation is possible under the current border-crossing rules. We agree the route and documents according to present requirements — details are confirmed on consultation.

What should we know about repatriation from Poland?

A full Polish-side document package and approval for entry into Ukraine are needed, plus proper preparation and a hearse. We take on the organization and explain every step.
