National and International Repatriations

At Cairns Funeral Directors, we understand the importance of returning loved ones home and honouring them in the traditions that matter most. We provide professional repatriation services across Far North Queensland, ensuring every journey is handled with the utmost care, dignity, and respect.

We are deeply culturally aware and respectful of the many traditions observed in our region, including Torres Strait Island traditional funerals. When required, we arrange for empty coffins to be flown into remote communities, allowing families to hold ceremonies and farewells in the way that is most meaningful to them.

Our team works closely with families and communities, using either commercial or charter flights when needed. Over the years, we have proudly repatriated loved ones to places as far west as Mornington Island, as far north as Boigu Island, and to many communities in between.

With professionalism and compassion, we are committed to walking beside you through every step of the journey, ensuring each farewell reflects culture, community, and love.

I have no idea how their prices compare to other such establishments and I don't care because the service they provided us was impeccable. Such attention to detail while attending to every aspect with such care, professionalism and dignity. Special praise to Jane who handled everything so gracefully but everyone else there was equally helpful and gracious. Everything simply happened as if by magic.

Ian Walters
Cairns Funeral Directors were very understanding and were able to assist us greatly during a difficult time following our son's passing. We found the service to be efficient and seamless which made the process much more comfortable and removed stress which allowed the family to focus on our own grieving journeys. Kylie and Trent were both helpful and gracious in assisting us. Highly recommended.

I cannot speak highly enough of Cairns Funeral Directors. They made the whole process so easy, everyone was so very lovely to deal with. Very highly recommended to everyone. Thank you so much for making a difficult time so stress free.
Michelle Tengler
During a difficult time, the Cairns Funeral Directors provided a beautiful and heartfelt service that honoured our father/opa/uncle/friend, Ludwig, in the most meaningful way. The service took place in a unique stunning remote location offering a truly peaceful and comforting atmosphere.

From start to finish, the team was incredibly professional, compassionate, and attentive to every detail. The way they told Dad’s (Ludwig’s) story was deeply touching and resonated with everyone in attendance, as if they had personally known him. Many guests shared how moved they were by the ceremony.

The live stream was flawless, allowing family and friends from all over the world to be part of the service. We received countless messages from those who joined remotely, all expressing how beautiful and touching they found the ceremony.

We are beyond grateful to the Cairns Funeral Directors for creating such a meaningful tribute. Their professionalism, warmth, and dedication made all the difference, and we can’t recommend them highly enough to anyone in need of a truly personal and heartfelt service.

Dear Jane, Lee & Kylie, Thank you so much for a truly special and touching service.

Michelle, Cliff, Andy
