We receive your loved one at JKIA and bring them to the mortuary or the family home anywhere in Kenya.
Repatriation cost
How much does it cost to repatriate a body to Kenya?
There is no single price, because every case depends on the country, the paperwork and the burial location. These are the parts that make up the cost:
- Preparation of your loved one and the approved casket for the flight
- Documents and embassy fees
- The airline's cargo charges
- Clearance at JKIA
- The distance from JKIA to the burial home
- The funeral arrangements in Kenya
Tell us where your loved one died and where the burial will be, and we will explain each cost so the family can plan and fundraise.
Paying for repatriation
Insurance, employers and welfare groups
Before the family starts fundraising, check what may already cover the cost:
- Travel or life insurance with repatriation cover
- The employer's contract or group insurance
- Diaspora welfare associations and church groups
- Funeral or last expense cover taken out in Kenya
We provide the documents that insurers and employers ask for.
