Repatriation to Nigeria

Udens Worldwide specialises in international repatriations, including destinations in Nigeria. We operate daily flights to Lagos & Abuja with Virgin Atlantic. Our comprehensive services include handling all necessary paperwork, collecting your loved one, providing an appropriate coffin, coordinating with airlines, and arranging transportation to the airport. If needed, we can also organise a funeral service within the UK.

We ensure our services meet the highest standards, with arrangements available either at your home or at any of our London branches. We understand that repatriation can be overwhelming, so we strive to make the process as seamless as possible for you during this difficult time. During our first meeting, we will provide a detailed breakdown of our services, outline the next steps, and discuss your available options.

Below, you will find an outline of the documentation, process, and flight information required to start a repatriation to Nigeria. To discuss your specific needs, please call us at 0207 703 3212 or send us an enquiry using the form below.

What Documentation do you Require for Repatriation to Nigeria?
  • Original Death Certificate: This is the most important document and allows us to start the repatriation process ( We keep the original but upon arrival to the final destination your chosen consignee should return this to you )
  • Original Passport: This is a form of identification and is required for some paperwork to be processed and for the flight to take place.
  • Consignee’s Details: To request a flight for your loved one we must have contact information for the person or company that would be collecting from your requested airport. We must have their full name, address, telephone number and email address.
  • Out of England Certificate: This document is issued by the local coroner and gives permission for us to repatriate your loved one ( An original death certificate and in some circumstances a passport is required to obtain this document )
  • Free From Infection Certificate: This is issued by the hospital / Pathologist or GP and is informing us that your loved one is safe for travel. ( If your loved one does have a communicable infection a repatriation can still take place but depending on circumstance can change some options available to you – Please ask our team if you have any further questions in this regard )
  • Embalming Certificate: This document we create once your loved one has been embalmed. This is a legal requirement for any repatriation and also preserves your loved one for viewing purposes.
  • Funeral Directors Declaration: This document we create once we are in the final stages of the repatriation.

Waiver: This document “Repatriation of Human Remains” is issued by the ministry of health in Nigeria. We require this document for the repatriation to take place. If you are using a funeral directors (we can guide you in this regard if required)  in Nigeria they will be able to liaise with the port official to obtain this document on your behalf. A family member or family friend could also arrange this document. This can then be emailed to us, as we do not need an original copy. – Some of the documents that you would require to obtain the Waiver come from ourselves so please let us know when you are ready and we can forward the relevant paperwork to you.

The timeframe from the initial arrangements to the day of the flight can vary based on several factors. At a minimum, one working week is required to complete all necessary paperwork. In certain circumstances, additional time may be needed to finalise all required documentation.
