Those wishing to have mortal remains introduced to Italy may write to manchester.sociale@esteri.it with the subject “[SURNAME] [NAME] – INTRODUCTION OF MORTAL REMAINS.” The Consulate will provide the necessary information regarding the documentation to be provided and the steps to be taken.
In case of corpses, a funeral director needs to be engaged for organizing the transport. A list of British funeral homes is available HERE
All costs related to transporting and introducing mortal remains to Italy are a responsibility of the family. However, it is worth mentioning that various local entities, particularly at regional level, often contribute to fund the costs related. We advise all parties concerned to verify this option with local authorities in Italy.
