Ask your own question
How much does repatriation from Ukraine cost?
The price starts at 300 € and depends on the city, on how the journey is made and on what local law requires.
We send an itemised estimate before any work starts. Once it is agreed, the figure does not change.

How long does the journey from Ukraine take?
Usually 2-4 days from the moment the documents are ready and the body can be released.
It takes longer if a forensic examination is ordered, an investigation is under way or the documents are waiting for consular legalisation. We tell you as soon as anything changes.

Write to us
Which documents are needed?
The death certificate, the medical cause-of-death certificate, the export permit, the embalming certificate and the documents of the deceased.
We check what you already have and what still has to be prepared when you first call. Whatever is missing we prepare ourselves, through the mortuary, the local authorities and the consulate.
Still have questions on this?
Write to us
What is needed from the family?
The details of the deceased, the contacts of the mortuary or hospital if you know them, and a signed electronic power of attorney.
You do not have to travel to the country: the correspondence with the authorities, the payment of local services and the logistics are ours.
Still have questions on this?
Write to us
Can the ashes be brought instead of the body?
Yes. The cremation can take place there and we bring the urn to Moldova; that is quicker and cheaper than carrying the body.
The documents for the cremation and for taking the urn out are ours to prepare.

Repatriation of the deceased is the international transport of a body, or of an urn with the ashes, from the country where the death occurred back home. Ritual Prim has done this work since 2012: we prepare the documents in the country of death, prepare the deceased for the journey, plan the route by specialist vehicle across Europe or by cargo flight, meet the deceased in Chișinău and hand them to the family.
Repatriation from Ukraine to Moldova covers the release of the deceased, embalming, a coffin with a zinc liner, the journey and the handover to the family. We work around the clock. Price: from €300. Timeframe: 2-4 days.
Losing someone while they are far from home is especially hard. We arrange repatriation from Ukraine from beginning to end: we collect the deceased from Kyiv, Odesa or any other city, prepare the documents of both countries and bring them home, to any town or village in Moldova.
