Our International Network

Reunion International (旋里國際) is a Hong Kong-based coordination firm specialising in the cross-border transport of remains and cremated ashes. It operates as part of the Paradise (恩福殯儀) funeral group, drawing on decades of funeral service experience alongside its own international logistics work.

Their team handles export and import documentation, consular authentication, preparation to international standards, airline booking and airport handover — for Hong Kong to and from destinations worldwide, as well as the road corridors between mainland China and Hong Kong. They list service coverage across more than 50 countries and territories, with a 24-hour response desk.

On shared cases this means the Singapore side of the work stays with us, and the Hong Kong or China side sits with people who deal with those authorities every week. Families are not left translating between two systems on their own.

Van Phuoc Funeral operates out of Ho Chi Minh City, close to Tan Son Nhat International Airport, and its air freight desk deals with human remains, coffins and cremated remains arriving into and departing from Vietnam.

Their work on our cases begins the moment the aircraft is on the ground: cargo terminal release, Vietnamese import formalities, and the transfer of the coffin to a hearse for the road journey to the family's home province. Where a wake or burial follows locally, they arrange that too, in the customs the family expects.

For Vietnamese families in Singapore this removes the hardest part of a long-distance loss — nobody at home has to negotiate an airport cargo terminal while grieving.

Gomez & Gomez Repatriation is a Philippine funeral and repatriation provider based in Barangay Villa Libertad, El Nido, Palawan, working nationwide rather than only through Manila.

Many Filipino families in Singapore are not from the capital, and the last leg of the journey — the domestic flight, the ferry, or the long provincial drive — is usually where arrangements fall apart. This is precisely the stretch they handle, alongside Philippine reception formalities and the local wake once the deceased reaches the barangay.

Their reach into island and provincial destinations is the reason we call them for Philippine cases: the ashes or the coffin continue moving after Manila, and someone is accountable for that part of the route.

Established in 2000 and based in Klongluang, Pathumthani — just outside Bangkok — Siam Funeral & Repatriation Co., Ltd. provides international repatriation together with full funeral services inside Thailand.

On inbound cases they clear the deceased through Thai formalities and carry the case through to the temple, whether that is in Bangkok or up-country. On outbound cases they prepare and document remains leaving Thailand, which matters to us when a family in Singapore is waiting for a loved one to be brought here.

Thai funeral rites run on their own timetable and vocabulary. Having a Thai house lead that portion means the merit-making and cremation arrangements are set by people who practise them, not approximated from Singapore.

Akasha Lestari Funeral Solutions (PT. Hyang Akasha Funeralindo) works from AD Premiere Office Park on Jl. TB Simatupang in South Jakarta, with service coverage across Jakarta, Bali, Bandung and Surabaya.

Indonesia is an archipelago, and a coffin cleared in Jakarta may still have a domestic flight and a boat ahead of it. Their team manages Indonesian documentation and reception, then the onward domestic movement, plus caskets and cremation where the family asks for it locally.

They are also our counterpart on inbound work — Indonesians and expatriates who die in Indonesia and are being brought to Singapore for a wake or cremation here.

Reda El-Areef Funeral & Repatriation Services has operated from Downtown Cairo since 1982 and is a member of FIAT-IFTA, the international federation of funeral service associations.

Their work covers the full Egyptian side of a case: removal, embalming, casketing, Egyptian documentation, and the embassy and consular coordination that repatriation to or from Egypt requires. They also deal directly with insurers and assistance companies, which matters when a claim is funding the repatriation.

Egypt is a destination where paperwork, religious timing and burial arrangements all move quickly and locally. Having an established Cairo house lead that portion means a family in Singapore is not trying to arrange a burial in Egypt by phone.

仙壽祥殡葬服务 is a Chinese funeral service house working in the Guangzhou–Shenzhen corridor of Guangdong province, which is where most flights from Singapore into southern China arrive.

Bringing a deceased person into China involves its own layer of approvals — cargo release at the arrival airport, the provincial 民政 (civil affairs) formalities, and the entry permit for remains or ashes. Their team handles that side, then the transfer to the funeral home and the road journey to the family's hometown.

Many Chinese families in Singapore have roots in Guangdong, Fujian and the surrounding provinces. Having a partner already inside that system means the family at home is not the one queuing at an airport cargo counter.

Fu Jia Funeral Services is based in the SiLC industrial area of Iskandar Puteri, Johor — minutes from the Singapore crossings, which is exactly why the relationship works.

Malaysia is the one destination where most of our cases never see an aircraft. The deceased leaves Singapore by road, clears the checkpoint, and is received on the Malaysian side for the drive to the family's hometown. Fu Jia takes the case from the border onward, and hands cases to us in the other direction.

Because the corridor is short and the paperwork checkpoint-based, a partner physically close to the crossing is worth more than a large firm further north.
