Repatriation from France to Austria, handled from start to finish

Losing someone far from home is hard enough without having to deal with foreign authorities and paperwork in another language. We collect the deceased anywhere in France, including Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Strasbourg, Nice, and bring them with dignity to any town or city in Austria, such as Vienna, Graz, Linz, Salzburg, Innsbruck.

We drive the deceased by our own hearse, door to door, from Paris and anywhere else in France directly to the place of rest in Austria. The usual route runs via Munich, Stuttgart and Strasbourg. There is no transfer between vehicles and the deceased is accompanied the whole way.

The family does not need to travel to arrange anything. We work directly with the hospital, the registry office, the consulate where needed, and the cemetery or funeral home in Austria.

Documents for funeral transport from France to Austria

In France the doctor issues the medical death certificate, the town hall (mairie) registers the death and issues the death certificate (acte de décès), and the prefecture authorises the transport of the body abroad. For international transport the deceased is placed in a hermetically sealed coffin.

For international transport the following documents are usually required. We obtain them on behalf of the family:

Civil death certificate, ideally the international multilingual extract
Medical certificate confirming the cause of death is not infectious
Corpse passport (laissez-passer) for international transport
Certificate of embalming or preservation, where required
Certificate confirming the zinc-lined coffin has been sealed
Copy of the passport or ID card of the deceased

On arrival in Austria we coordinate the burial or cremation date with the cemetery administration and the municipality or parish of the place of rest.
