The information about Newrest Funerals comes from publicly available material on newrestfunerals.co.uk (reviewed July 2026) and may be updated by the company at any time. We recommend confirming details directly with each provider before making a decision.

The difference that matters

A clear, itemised cost before you ever commit

Unlike Newrest Funerals, which quotes repatriation only on request, Funero tells you the itemised cost of your route from the first conversation — so you know exactly what to expect before you decide anything.

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.

We definitely chose the right company

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 Newrest Funerals: your questions answered

What is the main difference between Funero and Newrest Funerals?

Specialisation and physical presence. Newrest is an online funeral arranger covering many services; Funero is a dedicated repatriation specialist with a London base, publicly listed accreditations, a free itemised quote in about 10 minutes — and you pay nothing until your loved one has safely arrived.

Why choose Funero over Newrest Funerals?

Because repatriation is all we do. You get an exact, itemised cost upfront, publicly listed accreditations such as NAFD and FIAT-IFTA, a 4.8/5 Trustpilot record, and you pay only when your loved one arrives.

Is Newrest Funerals a bad choice?

Not at all — they make arranging a funeral online simple and have positive reviews. This page simply puts the publicly available facts side by side, so you can decide what matters most to your family: convenience across many services, or a dedicated repatriation specialist.

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 Newrest Funerals?

Yes. Funero arranges repatriation to and from the UK across every continent — including the country routes Newrest lists, from Pakistan and India to Jamaica, Poland, Italy and Romania. We handle the consulates, airlines and paperwork on both sides of the journey.
