A death on holiday, on a business trip or in the country of origin hits families twice over: they are far away and do not know whom to turn to. Unfamiliar authorities, an unfamiliar language, and often no clear picture of the costs.
Call us before you sign anything on site. We contact the funeral home and the Swiss representation in the country concerned, review the costs and take over the coordination from Switzerland.
