International Funeral Transportation from Argentina to Brazil

The loss of a loved one abroad is a painful event that also requires a number of bureaucratic and logistical procedures. In the case of Brazilian citizens who pass away in Argentina, the process of repatriating the body to Brazil must be carried out with care, following strict international regulations. This is where international funeral transportation becomes essential, ensuring that the family can hold the funeral and burial in their homeland.

Global Funeral is a company specialized in this type of service, with years of experience in international funeral transportation from Argentina to Brazil. Our team takes care of every detail of the repatriation, from consular paperwork to the international flight and final delivery of the body in any Brazilian city.

📌 How does international funeral transportation from Argentina to Brazil work?

The repatriation process involves several steps that must be strictly followed to ensure the transfer is legal, safe and respectful. These steps include:

  1. Official documentation

    • Death certificate issued in Argentina.

    • Medical report stating the cause of death.

    • Authorization for international transportation.

    • Identification documents of the deceased and relatives.

  2. Consular and embassy authorizations
    If there are no family members present in Argentina, Global Funeral takes full responsibility with the Brazilian consulate or embassy, obtaining all necessary authorizations and ensuring compliance with international law.

  3. Body preparation and embalming
    Before the international flight, the body must undergo embalming and preparation procedures, according to international health standards, to guarantee safe air transport.

  4. Coffin and packaging
    The body must be placed in a coffin approved for international transportation, often including a sealed zinc urn, depending on airline requirements.

  5. International air transport
    Once authorized, the body is transported on a commercial flight, usually departing from Lisbon or Porto, and arriving in major Brazilian capitals. From there, it can be transferred to any Brazilian city.

  6. Reception in Brazil and delivery to the family
    Upon arrival in Brazil, Global Funeral continues to assist with customs clearance and arranges transportation to the final destination, whether for cremation or burial.

💰 Costs of international funeral transportation from Argentina to Brazil

The costs vary depending on several factors, such as the city of departure in Argentina, the final destination in Brazil, the weight of the coffin and additional services requested.

In general, expenses range between US$ 2,000 and US$ 14,000.

  • Lower costs (around US$ 2,000 to US$ 5,000): when transportation starts from Lisbon or Porto to major Brazilian capitals.

  • Intermediate cases (US$ 6,000 to US$ 9,000): when the destination is farther away from main airports, or when additional consular and logistical fees apply.

  • More complex cases (US$ 10,000 to US$ 14,000): usually when the final destination is in a remote Brazilian city requiring multiple connections, or when the family requests additional services such as cremation or specific funeral ceremonies.

Families should always count on a specialized company like Global Funeral, which provides full transparency on costs and professional assistance throughout the process.
