Bring your loved one home
Bellrae recognises the immense challenges families face with the loss of a loved one, particularly when it involves bringing them back to their homeland.
Our international repatriation service facilitates your loved one's return from Australia to the Philippines with the utmost dignity and care. Our experienced professionals guide you through this critical process and provide comprehensive support throughout.
How long will repatriation to the Philippines take?
Repatriation from Perth to the Philippines typically takes 3–4 weeks from the time your loved one is placed in our care. This allows us to complete preparations, secure approvals, and coordinate with consulates and airlines. The Philippine Consulate usually issues the Consular Mortuary Certificate within three days as part of this process.
