The difference that matters

A clear, itemised cost before you ever commit

Unlike National Repatriation, Funero tells you the cost of your route from the first conversation — and publishes who we are, where we are based and what families say about us, so you can check everything before you commit.

Transparent from the start

A real estimate for your route in about 10 minutes, free and with no obligation.

No hidden fees

You know exactly what the price includes: embalming, coffin, transport and documents.

No advance payment

You confirm the cost, and you pay only once your loved one has safely arrived.

Impeccable service at a difficult time

I can't speak highly enough of Sebastian and the Funero team. I'll admit I was slightly worried about using them as they were far more competitive — but their service was impeccable, with regular, timely communication that was a huge comfort at a difficult time.

Fast, helpful and always available

I'm from Sydney and lost my brother in London. I was lucky to find Funero to help with the repatriation. Sebastian was fast, helpful and available at all times — they made the whole process easy for me. Highly recommended!

They achieved what seemed impossible

Every colleague at Funero went over and above during the repatriation of our loved one, from the first moment to the end and beyond. They spared no effort to make it happen far sooner than usual, treated our loved one with outstanding respect, and their empathy made an unbearable time feel manageable. Your loved ones will be in the best of hands.

Calm, empathetic and endlessly patient

Considering the shock and our lack of knowledge, Sebastian and Mihai were absolutely amazing with their help and guidance. It was an emotionally draining time, but they are calm, polite, empathetic and warm — from practical advice to personal effort and so much patience. We can't thank them enough.

Professional, compassionate, above and beyond

An exceptionally professional and compassionate team. During one of the most painful moments of my life they went above and beyond, offering genuine support and care. Thanks to their kindness and dedication, the burden of losing my mother was made a little easier. I am deeply grateful for their respect, empathy and humanity.

They brought our loved one home from Egypt

Our loved one died on holiday in Egypt and, as a family of modest means, what felt impossible was made possible. Funero was the only company that didn't ask for money upfront, which gave us time to fundraise — and their quote was more than reasonable. They kept us informed every step, translated everything, and their reps in Egypt worked so hard for us. We can't thank them enough for bringing our loved one home.

Funero vs National Repatriation: your questions answered

What is the main difference between Funero and National Repatriation?

The biggest difference is how much you can verify before you commit. Funero gives you a free, itemised quote in about 10 minutes, publishes its London address, accreditations and 4.8/5 Trustpilot reviews, and you only pay once your loved one has arrived. National Repatriation publishes no prices, no office address and no public reviews.

Why choose Funero over National Repatriation?

Because you know from the first minute what to expect — and who you are dealing with. You get a clear cost upfront, a team that answers 24/7, verifiable reviews from real families, and you pay nothing until your loved one arrives.

Is National Repatriation a bad choice?

We can only compare what each company states publicly. National Repatriation describes a 24-hour worldwide service, but does not publish prices, an address or reviews. This page puts the available facts side by side so you can decide how much transparency matters to you.

How quickly can Funero give me a cost estimate?

In about 10 minutes, at any hour. Tell us where your loved one is and where they need to go, and we will come back with a personalised, itemised estimate — free, and with no obligation to proceed.

Do I have to pay anything upfront with Funero?

No. We start work on the documents, preparation and transport without asking for any advance. You settle the balance only once your loved one has safely arrived at their final destination — a policy very few UK repatriation providers publicly match.

Does Funero cover the same routes as National Repatriation?

Yes. Funero arranges repatriation to and from the UK across every continent, using scheduled flights from any UK airport. Wherever your loved one is, we handle the consulates, airlines and paperwork on both sides of the journey.
