Human remains and ashes

Arranging travel for a loved one who has passed away is probably the last thing families want to have to worry about during a highly emotional time, which is why we’re here to help.

We understand that losing someone is one of the hardest things that anyone will have to go through. 

Our Customer Service team work directly with funeral homes to manage every step of the journey and return your loved one back home to their final resting place.

If you know that passengers are planning to travel, it's important that you provide their flight details as you complete the form.

Once submitted, you’ll be sent a reference number that you can quote when contacting us.
