After our dad passed on 24th Nov 2025

After our dad passed on 24th Nov 2025, Global Funeral Repatriation company was contacted. We were a bit worried what the embalming would look like on him, but I would say it was done really well. Due to funeral rites back in Nigeria, we kept going back and forth on where our dad's body would be laid to rest, and Global Funeral Repatriation were happy to assist. On the day I decided to visit dad's body, Nicola booked me for the appointment and she assisted to make sure the anxiety I had was manageable as I visited all by myself. Their Repatriation company in Lagos received dad's body earlier than expected through customs. Everything went on smoothly, I must say. Thanks to everyone who cared for our dad's body.

Excellent Service


We hold the Global Funeral Repatriation Team in the highest regard, especially Tom and Nicola

Through their professionalism, compassion and unwavering support, my brother in law was recently repatriated to his homeland in the Caribbean with dignity and certainty.

As a family, we felt that during an incredibly sad and difficult time, we were truly fortunate to find a local company capable of organising and delivering such an exceptional service for our loved one.

We would highly recommend this business to any family in need of compassionate and professional support with their repatriation

Great company to work with

To the GFR Team,

What can I say? You have been an absolute blessing to us during one of the most difficult times of our lives. From the very beginning until the end, your team showed such professionalism, compassion, and care.

Nicola and Tom—thank you both especially for your guidance, support, and constant communication throughout the entire repatriation process. You made everything so smooth and stress-free, allowing us to focus on grieving and being with family without having to worry about the complicated logistics.

We are truly grateful for the respect and dignity you gave our loved one, and for the warmth and kindness you extended to us every step of the way.

The company is very professional.

The company is very professional.
The service was the best I could asked for.
Everyone was friendly, helpful and patient.
I was happy with how I could contact them and asked any questions and get answers.
I couldn't asked for a better service and the price was not too bad.
I will recommend anyone who is looking to send their love one back home.
Thanks again.

To the Global funeral team

To the Global funeral team, thank you all for the love, support and care you offered my family during this difficult time.
You have all been amazing, words only cannot describe how thankful we are as a family.
Special gratitude to Nicola, she went above and beyond for the process to be easy and stress free to us as possible for the repatriation of my aunt back to South Africa.
She was buried with dignity and love that she deserved, all thanks to the Global Funeral team.

Highly Recommend Global Funeral Repatriation

Amazingly professional service from the team at Global Funeral Repatriation. All the staff were so caring, helpful and sympathetic from initially dealing with Nicola for the repatriation of mum back to the UK, Rachel for organising the cremation through to Tom for personally delivering mum’s ashes back to us at home. First class service all round. Thank you all for being so kind and reassuring and making a really horrible and stressful time that little bit easier.

Amazing company

This company has been amazing. From start to finish. Communication was excellent. My son was repatriated from Malaysia and at such an awful time you really do need an efficient, understanding company like this. Nicola who i dealt with took all the stress of returning my son home away from me and I didn't have to get involved in anything. I was updated every step of the way. If you do every unfortunately need the help of a repatriation company please use these. I can't give enough praise

Thank you to the team especially to Tom and Nicola to help repatriate my wife from Greece to UK. They made the process smooth and at such a time of despair, they took care of everything and brought my wife back to the UK within 3 days for which I am so grateful for. God bless you and thank you to Tom & Nicola for your support and understanding.

To lose a child

To lose a child, no matter their age, has to be the worst thing to happen to any parent. My situation was difficult but with the help of Tom and Rachel I finally had the ashes of my son delivered from England to Ireland and will be eternally grateful to them for all that they did. Highly recommend this company.

I lost my dad in April 2023 in the UK. The service and support I and the family received was top quality. I also found out it was very good quality for money. I can only highly recommend this Company as they carter to the Nigerian market and understand sensitivities around sending a loved one back home. They handled the whole process smoothly!!!Thank you on behalf of the Emeagwali family.
