Losing a loved one in the UK is an exceptionally difficult time, accompanied by specific administrative and customs procedures post-Brexit. IMSAZ Ltd offers professional, fast, and fully legal overland repatriation of deceased persons from any point in the United Kingdom (London, Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol, Leeds, etc.) to any location in Bulgaria.

We handle all communication with British authorities, coroners, and border services to relieve your stress and ensure your loved one is brought home with dignity.

Documents and Specific Procedures in the UK

Since the UK is no longer part of the European Union, processing the documentation for the export of human remains requires strict adherence to local legislation:

• British Death Certificate (Certified Copy of an Entry of Death): Issued by the local Register Office. An Apostille stamp from the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) must be affixed to the back of the document for it to be legally recognized by Bulgarian institutions.

• Out of England Certificate (Form 103): A crucial document issued personally by the attending Coroner. The coffin cannot leave the country without this authorization.

• Transit Permit and Consular Attestation: We collaborate closely with the Embassy of the Republic of Bulgaria in London to promptly obtain all required transit and supporting documents.

• Medical Certificate of Absence of Infectious Diseases: Required to confirm that the repatriation poses no public health risks.

Our experienced team is thoroughly familiar with British administrative procedures, ensuring the process is organized as quickly and smoothly as possible.

Why Choose Overland Transport from England Instead of Air Freight?

Despite the distance and the English Channel crossing (via ferry or Eurotunnel), overland transport using our specialized vehicles is the safer and more reliable choice:

1. Uninterrupted Temperature Control: Air transport often leaves the coffin waiting for hours on tarmac areas and cargo terminals. Our specialized vehicles feature modern refrigeration systems that maintain a constant optimal temperature throughout the entire journey from the UK to Bulgaria.

2. Direct Door-to-Door Service: We collect the deceased directly from the mortuary, hospital, or funeral home in the UK and deliver them directly to the designated residence, funeral park, or cemetery in Bulgaria.

3. Transparency Without Hidden Airport Fees: Air freight frequently incurs unexpected costs for cargo handling, storage, and customs fees. With us, the price is transparent, fixed, and agreed upon in advance.

Licensing and Technical Standards

• Registered Specialized Vehicle Fleet: Transport is conducted using specialized funeral vehicles licensed by the Regional Health Inspection (Permit No. 2428007838 / 21.12.2022 and No. 2428008482 / 28.02.2025).

• Mandatory Sanitary Disinfection: Thorough internal and external disinfection of the vehicle is performed prior to every departure in compliance with EU and UK sanitary regulations.

• 24/7 Availability: We take immediate action upon your call and are ready to dispatch toward the UK within hours.

Pricing for Transport from the UK to Bulgaria

We operate under clear and transparent conditions with zero hidden fees:

• Transport Rate: 1.50 EUR / km (charged for one direction only).

• Calculation: The final cost is determined based on the exact mileage from the specific UK city to the destination in Bulgaria.
