Funeral Repatriation in Selangor, Kuala Lumpur & Across Malaysia: How to Repatriate a Deceased Loved One
Losing a loved one is never easy, and when a death occurs in a foreign country, the legal and logistical steps can feel even more overwhelming. In Malaysia, if a foreigner passes away without permanent residency, citizenship, or an MM2H visa, local regulations require that the body be repatriated
to their home country.
Repatriation Procedures for Deceased Individuals in Selangor, Kuala Lumpur & Malaysia
Issue the Funeral Director’s Declaration
This essential document confirms the identity of the deceased and outlines the funeral arrangements required for repatriation.
Obtain Required Documentation
The following documents must be prepared:
- Death certificate (issued by the National Registration Department – NRD)
- Health certificate
- Customs entry permit
- Customs clearance permit
- X-ray of the urn (for security clearance)
- Embalming certificate (if applicable)
Cremation and Urn Preparation
- Since most airlines do not allow coffin repatriation, the deceased is usually cremated. The urn must be properly sealed and compliant with airline requirements.
Flight Trays for Transportation
Specialized flight trays are arranged for transporting human remains or ashes, following international repatriation protocols.
Airport Delivery Coordination
Timely delivery of the urn to the airport is crucial. This process is managed through pre-planning arrangements for smooth handover.
Embassy Notification & Assistance
The embassy of the deceased’s home country must be notified. They may request additional paperwork and, if no funeral company has been appointed, help locate a reliable funeral professional
.
Funeral Service and Repatriation Costs
The financial burden of funeral and repatriation costs falls on the deceased’s family or next-of-kin. Repatriation can be costly, and it is recommended that individuals consider international funeral insurance to cover these expenses in advance. Some funeral service providers may require payment upfront if there is no insurance policy in place.
