Frequently asked questions

The team at Bellrae understand the importance of professional and respectful repatriation services.

Do you offer interstate repatriation services from locations outside Perth?

No, our repatriation services are available from Perth only. If your loved one passes away in another state, you will need to engage a local funeral director where the death occurred.

Please note that Australian law mandates the registration of the death in the state where it occurred.

What is the typical duration for an interstate repatriation process?

Which airlines does Bellrae use for transporting the remains of loved ones to Melbourne?

Are there special requirements for air travel when transporting the deceased?

What is embalming and why is it necessary for repatriations to Melbourne?

Embalming is a requirement by the airlines for transport of deceased remains.

Embalming is a process used to preserve the deceased person’s body, which involves treating with chemicals to delay decomposition. Embalming is necessary because it ensures that the body remains in a suitable condition throughout the journey, especially over long distances or when the transportation involves air travel.

Embalming also ensures the dignity of the deceased person during the journey, maintaining your loved one’s appearance for viewing and funeral service upon the return home.

The embalming process of my grandfather was done to perfection. It gave our family the sense of peace to see him dressed up well and with his prayer beads in his hands perfectly. Thank you for all you hard work.
