The transportation of a body or the transport of an urn with ashes requires the organization of many necessary documents, both on the Polish and French sides. In addition to the basic documents from the Registry Office, it is also necessary to obtain, among other things, permission from the prefecture to export the body or urn, as well as a certificate for bringing the deceased or ashes (remains) into the country issued by the Polish Consul in Paris. Therefore, at such a difficult time for loved ones, we guarantee to organize a full set of documents and transport the body of a loved one with full respect for him and his loved ones.
There are about one million Poles living in France. It is estimated that the largest number of Poles live in cities such as Paris, Arles, Marseille and Perpignan. Our company, meeting the expectations of our clients, is able to organize in a reliable, dignified and professional manner the transportation of deceased from any corner of France.

How does the transport of deceased look like?
Transport of the body from from France to Poland is carried out overland. The corpses are transported by a specialized hearse that meets a number of legal and sanitary requirements. Each of our cars is equipped with a cooler and protection against sliding of the coffin or urn. In order to respect the dignity of the deceased, we also ensure that the driver's cabin is permanently separated from the part intended for the placement of deceased or human remains.
After accepting and signing the contract and sending scans of the necessary documents, our employee leaves for the place where the body of the deceased person is located and collects the original documents from the nearby offices to continue the procedure of bringing the corpse from abroad.
Next, our employee goes to the previously indicated place (usually a morgue) to collect the body and ensure that it is properly prepared for the journey.
Upon your request, we take a photo of the body so that you can be sure that the coffin contains the designated person. (The service is free of charge, you receive the photos on the SIM card)
Before leaving the country, the Employee dealing with your case performs consular clearance at the Consulate appropriate for the place of residence of the deceased person.
Prior to the scheduled departure, the Family is informed (by email or telephone) of the exact route selected and the scheduled time of arrival at the designated location within our country.
