In what situations does Antea provide assistance?
Hungary attracts many tourists, particularly to Budapest, Lake Balaton, and Hévíz. Additionally, there are numerous guest workers residing in Hungary for varying lengths of time.
Tragically, there are instances where foreign visitors pass away in Hungary.
Similarly, Hungarian citizens travelling or working abroad may also experience untimely deaths in foreign countries. In such situations, the deceased's relatives often face difficult questions that require careful and swift answers.
The death of a loved one can bring unexpected challenges beyond the individual tragedy. For instance, we once had to return a pacemaker from a deceased body to the United States.
Transporting unattended pets or personal belongings left abroad can also be required. While nothing is impossible, the process can become more complex with additional considerations.
Antea handles these tasks with complete care, ensuring all official permits are obtained.
How does Antea ensure compliance with international regulations and laws during repatriation?
Since 1994, as a provider of international funeral assistance, we have reliable partners in almost every country worldwide. We understand the workings of consulates, local customs, and regulations. We are members of international funeral professional organisations, including NFDA, FIAT-IFTA, and EFFS
