It's nice to know that there are people like you Tracy that put so much love and care into repatriating our loved ones, I loved the fact that you put a little card in place, such a beautiful touch! My mother's cousin John died on holiday in Spain, he was sat in a restaurant with his wife having a meal when he keeled over and just dropped dead, massive cardiac arrest. His sons flew out straight away to be with their mother and to sort things out. So I know how distressing it can be, thank god for people like you! xx
With Tracy’s notes that she includes when sending a deceased overseas, wouldn’t it be lovely if that person is buried or cremated with the note included, so that whoever or whatever meets them in the afterlife knows that Tracy cared for them so beautifully as they made their journey from this world to the next. ❤
Yet another superbly informative upload from our ladies in Oz! Over here in Northern Ireland, in the UK, we have a marvellous Charity called the Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust. They have brought SO MANY loved ones back to the UK from far-flung parts of the world, at very, very reduced costs, costs which the deceased's family could probably never afford....Thank you again for another brilliant upload ❤
I would like to say thank you for your videos. Ive always enjoyed them for all reasons, but now i actually was helped by them as well. Two days ago my life long friend desided it was time to leave this earth 😢. None of us saw this coming. Since she has no living family, except a brother who lives far away and has some drug problems, it looked like no one was gonna be there to make any arrangement for her funeral etc.but thanks to a recent video i saw from you I had in the back of my head that anyone(friend or family) can claim the body and ask to make the arrangement. So I did ask, and now we, her friends have a chance to give her a loving farewell ❤. So thank you for educating us with these details that we might not otherwised would have dared to ask.
Oh my goodness we are so very sorry to hear such sad news about your friend 😞 sending you our deepest condolences 🌹🌹 Wow what an amazing thing you are doing stepping in and helping her to be layed peacefully, that's so very special, we all need friends like you ❤️ We are blown away that we help a little in you loss, knowledge is power and that's a big reason we do this channel. Please take good care of yourself 🙏 and thank you for helping your friend ❤️❤️
New subscriber from the UK. Blessings to you Tracy 🙏🏻 Such wonderful work the dignity given is a beautiful thing you offer. What an angle 🤍✨ I've learn so much 🙏🏻 So insitful. Thank you both 🙏🏻
Another great video as usual and always informative. Tracy, you are at the top with your job you do!!! You put so much of your caring self into your job and take extra care of everyone's loved ones, that's just so, so special!!! I just pray everyone young and old elsewhere, get the same great care you give the loved ones you care for. Since I've been watching you ladies, I've learned so much about the funeral industry. You have put me at peace with so many questions I had about my husband's care when he passed. Thanks you
Hello ladies, thank you for another wonderful video. I love the idea of the note Tracy it just proves how much you care for those you take care of Hope you have a great week Blessings to you both for Missouri USA Rick B
Wow that's very interesting. We've only got a week before my wife's flying down to Jamaica for my mother-in-law's funeral. And you so right every country has their own traditions it's a lot.
Thanks for sharing this info. I knew bodies had to be embalmed for airplane travel, but it was so interesting hearing about the other steps taken. I love the idea of sending the note with the body!
What a lovely gesture to another funeral home director to take care of the person once they arrived to their destination! I wished I know what country that wasn't up to par on embalming and funeral procedures. I'm curious, with military soldier that died in battle, comes to you, would it require their commander/superior to observe the body upon pick up and thru the embalming/check up before putting soldier into another casket? Does the military provide their own caskets? For the soldiers that wanted to be cremated, do the foreign country do the cremation or soldier must fly home to have it done?
Hi, great channel very informative, I have a question for you ladies. What happens to all the bodily fluids that are extracted with trocar ? Thanks in advance, take care.
Hi, thank you so much for your kind words 😊 All the fluid goes down the drain into the sewer system just the same place as our toilet waste goes because basically it's what goes down most toilet everyday, faces, urine, blood. Thank you for your question take care 😊❤️❤️
evening ladies very informative video again also nice that you can send the body home to their loved ones do they go through security as they would beep like crazy
Hi Natalie, thank you. Yes the coffin still has security checks but no in the same way we do as we walk through the departure. The coffin will be scanned and check nothing is in there but the person. Take care 😊💚❤️
Hi, any bodies arriving international have to be embalmed the same as we do sending out of Australia. Our funeral home transfer team will go to the airport cargo area to pick up the person and bring into our care, were the family either request the body to stay in the coffin or casket they arrived in or change into a different one, often left in the same one. If the embalm has been carried out correctly from the country repatriation happened then we should not need to do any other other preparation to the body. The person should be ready for viewing and service. Thank you for your question take care ❤️❤️
I love your channel! I just subscribed. I want to work with dead people or be a forensic pathologist, mortician, etc. your videos are quite interesting and so helpful!🥹
Hi, no I never knew that. Maybe it's so any bodies that are arriving or leaving have a long stay over at the airport for what ever reason and need to be stored in cold storage, that's just me guessing? 🙂❤️❤️
Very interesting!! Thank u for the explanation! I didnt realize so much went into flying a deceased person out of the country! Im also thinking some of the other countries u were referring to are probably some of the poorer countries such as Indonesia for example? That area? Love u ladies! 😀💜
The person inside the coffin and casket is sealed in a metal bag the coffins or casket are only closed with the thumb screws not air tight sealed no need as the person inside is sealed. ❤️❤️
Would any of the processes be different if the person still has to undergo an Autopsy on the other end or do they do the Autopsy just on one end only? What might be different if the body has or is yet to undergo an Autopsy?
I have a friend who told me about her brother who passed here in Sydney & was transported to nz. She asked me about the process & if I knew about the preparation before a body is sent overseas. I honestly had no idea. She told me that his body was in a bag vacuum sealed but to the point where his face was squashed. The family was told by the funeral director that they didn't put a face shield on. Could you confirm if a face shield would be put on ? I told her if the body was embalmed properly, they shouldn't have any issues.
Hi I have a question for you, when it's an international transport of someone do you use any type of ice like dry ice or special ice packs to keep the person cool as if they were in a cooler?
Hi these bag are used because the airlines here require a metal sealed unit. It is tested and proven flexible metal material that meets Biosafety Level 4 (BSL-4) containment standards and is the original fully hermetic body bag for human remains. It meets IATA requirements for air transport and repatriation. It's air tight so no moisture can get in. Moisture=decomposition, we don't want that to happen. Thank you for your question Toni ❤️❤️
Great vid as always ladies. The sound on this one, and a couple of others has been very low. I had puter at 100% and still very soft. Even when talking at the end, it's a bit echo (ish), it's like your lapel mics are not picking up, or audio levels on the camera are down too low. Other than that, love the content, it's just the sound that can be a bit 'how ya goin' at times.
Thank you so much, yes sorry about the sound. We are just about finished our new studio set up and we have put up sounds proofing tiles so the sound should be better once in the new set. Take care ❤️❤️
@@Areyoudyingtoknow Sounds awesome. It's just strange that most vids were fine, could hear you both clear as mud, but then others (only a couple), it was really hard to hear. Sometimes just one of you was hard to hear. Very much like one of the mics you were using wasn't on at all. But look forward to hearing and seeing the new studio !! 🙂🙂
Im going to ask an awkward question. What happens with customs ect . I'm sure from some less scrupulous countries or individuals it would be a way of moving illegal items . It must have happened . Great topic .🤗
Hi, the airlines will always scan the coffins nothing can go through customs without the full checks. So hopefully if someone is doing the wrong thing these people will be caught. Thank you for your question take care 😊❤️
Did you handle any of the bodies after the Bali Bombings? Were they embalmed/cared for well in Bali before they were repatriated to Australia? The same with 9/11? Did many bodies get repatriated to Australia after 9/11. The same maybe after the plane was shot down in Russia maybe as there was Australians onboard that as well. If you could please tell us about cases of bodies that have been repatriated back to Australia please after an overseas death maybe.
Thanks for the video girls my darling beautiful brother died over in Bali and had to be repatriated back to Perth Australia He was embalmed in Bali had a post morten in Australia and we waited over 2 weeks for his funeral My poor sister in law and my niece had to leave him and come home It cost over $12000 to arrange Because they didn’t embalm his properly we were told it was best not to have a viewing
So very sorry to hear 😔 but I am not at all surprised about the standard of Embalming from there 😢 Spending you our deepest condolences 🌹🌹 Please take good care ❤️❤️
My aunt died in Michigan and was flown to Kentucky . She had had a viewing in Michigan , she was having a full funeral in Kentucky. I assume that she was just in her casket. I have always guessed that the casket was stored in baggage . Do they have to be strapped into the floor ? The casket , not the person .😂😂
Hiya, no in Australia a body can travel interstate unembalmed and we can use refrigerated transport vehicles or not depending on the distance. This may be different in other countries. You need the right paperwork to transport a body anywhere though. 👍🏼
Hello Ladies! Thank you for the interesting process. It looked like the pants leg was cut. If it was, it for ease of changing his clothes on the receiving end? Thanks again and have a pleasant day..
The little note you leave is such a beautiful gesture. It’s the little things that mean so much.
🥰❤️❤️
A lot of work but so necessary. The journey home. Thank you both!!
🤗❤️❤️ Thank you xx

Oh wow that's so wonderful, what an amazing charity because yes it's so expensive to repatriate a body. Love that thank you for sharing 🥰❤️❤️
That's wonderful!!! I wish we had that here in the States. It was expensive getting my sister's body home.

There was an air crash where the only intact body recovered had been casketed in with the cargo.
😲🥺❤️❤️
You’re that thoughtful & caring Tracy. How lovely of you 🥰
Thank you so much 🥰❤️
Another great video as usual and always informative.

Hope you have a great week
Blessings to you both for Missouri USA
Rick B
Thank you so much as always for your kind words ❤️❤️
Really informative video, even if the body is embalmed if they’re travelling a long time would they experience a smell from opening the metal bag? Xx
No not really the only smell thats usually there is the smell of Embalming chemical but once the bag is opened this disappears quickly. ❤️❤️
At the end it was a Person! ❤️ Lovely to put a note in there 🙂 and thanks for the video. Always wanted to know how they are prepared for a flight.
Thank you so much 🥰❤️❤️
Really interesting thankyou ❤
You’re welcome 😊 Pauline, have a great day 🥰
I love your sweet heart Tracy!!! You are so special!
Awww thank you so very kind 🤗🥰
Wow that's very interesting. We've only got a week before my wife's flying down to Jamaica for my mother-in-law's funeral. And you so right every country has their own traditions it's a lot.
Hi, hope everything went well at the funeral 🙏 sending you our best wishes 🙏❤️❤️
Bless you for being such kind people ❤
Thank you so much 🥰❤️❤️
Thanks for sharing this info. I knew bodies had to be embalmed for airplane travel, but it was so interesting hearing about the other steps taken. I love the idea of sending the note with the body!
Thank you so much ❤️❤️
That’s so sweet that your sister was able to join your Dad on the flight with your Mom back to the UK. 🇬🇧 💜 ❤
It was an extremely sad journey 😞 thank you ❤️❤️
5:10 the bag is bigger than you Tracy looked like you were having a fight! Lol xx
😆 yes it was a large bag, the gentleman was very tall and sturdy, had to make sure he was comfy so made sure the bag was big enough for him 🙂 ❤️❤️
Again so informative thanks ladies ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much 🥰❤️❤️
Great video ! Does the body swell once you’ve received it ? And do you get much purge as its air transport ?
Hi Andy, no the body should not swell or have purge hopefully if been embalmed correctly and sealed correctly too.
Have a great weekend 😁❤️❤️
Very interesting, didn't know any of this.
Thank you 😊❤️❤️
Great video lovely ladies.Very interesting.
Thanks so much 🥰❤️❤️
Good day beautiful ladies. Have a wonderful week.
Thank you! Hope you're week is going well too ❤️❤️

Very interesting procedure to send a body to another country.
❤️❤️
Great explanation, thank you. What is the procedure when you, Tracy, receive a body from another country internationally? Just curious…
Hi, any bodies arriving international have to be embalmed the same as we do sending out of Australia. Our funeral home transfer team will go to the airport cargo area to pick up the person and bring into our care, were the family either request the body to stay in the coffin or casket they arrived in or change into a different one, often left in the same one.

I found this interesting . You do have great information . ❤❤
Thank you! 🥰🥰
I love your channel! I just subscribed.
I want to work with dead people or be a forensic pathologist, mortician, etc.
your videos are quite interesting and so helpful!🥹
Welcome to the channel 🥰 good luck with your journey into doing this kind of work and happy we can help ❤️❤️
i loved the note idea.
Thank you ❤️❤️
More room than Economy Class.. Hope you both are well! 😘🖤
Yip😉 we are both well thank you. Hope your all good too 🥰🖤🖤
I'm SUPER curious about the protocol if one's religion (or other reason) prevents them to be embalmed, but needs to fly to another country?
Always embalmed to travel OS so if it's a religious no no, the family might decide to repat after cremation or not at all.🤗 Rules are rules. 👍🏼
Hello Tracey. I hear some airports have mortuaries are you aware of this? If you are why is that?.
Hi, no I never knew that. Maybe it's so any bodies that are arriving or leaving have a long stay over at the airport for what ever reason and need to be stored in cold storage, that's just me guessing? 🙂❤️❤️
Dublin airports one is beautiful. Birmingham had one in covid apparently. I find it very interesting. Thanks for the videos love them!.
Hi @shanehall98, please see my reply to Tracy and Trish in this thread. 😊
Aloha T&T, interesting video
Aloha 🌺 thank you so much ❤️❤️
Very interesting!! Thank u for the explanation! I didnt realize so much
went into flying a deceased person out of the country! Im also thinking
some of the other countries u were referring to are probably some of the
poorer countries such as Indonesia for example? That area? Love u ladies!
😀💜
Hi Kim, yes you are on the nail there.
Thank you so much as always for your kind words 🥰❤️❤️
I know you said you seal coffins. Do you seal caskets when flying? I thought they couldn’t be sealed due to air pressure?
The person inside the coffin and casket is sealed in a metal bag the coffins or casket are only closed with the thumb screws not air tight sealed no need as the person inside is sealed. ❤️❤️
Were there many bodies repatriated to Australia after the Boxing Day Tsunami that struck Asia back in 2004 I think that it was???
Yes but I was not living in Australia then ❤️❤️
Would any of the processes be different if the person still has to undergo an Autopsy on the other end or do they do the Autopsy just on one end only? What might be different if the body has or is yet to undergo an Autopsy?
Does the hermetically sealed bag interfere with the x-ray screening at the airport?
Hi, no it doesn't. ❤️
I have a friend who told me about her brother who passed here in Sydney & was transported to nz. She asked me about the process & if I knew about the preparation before a body is sent overseas. I honestly had no idea. She told me that his body was in a bag vacuum sealed but to the point where his face was squashed. The family was told by the funeral director that they didn't put a face shield on. Could you confirm if a face shield would be put on ? I told her if the body was embalmed properly, they shouldn't have any issues.
We might answer this in an upcoming video.
Very interesting ...
Thank you 😊❤️
Hi I have a question for you, when it's an international transport of someone do you use any type of ice like dry ice or special ice packs to keep the person cool as if they were in a cooler?
Hi, if a body bis been taken interstate we use refrigerated vehicles. Thank you for your question take care 😊💚
Why a metal bag instead of a thick plastic or vinyl bag?
Hi these bag are used because the airlines here require a metal sealed unit. It is tested and proven flexible metal material that meets Biosafety Level 4 (BSL-4) containment standards and is the original fully hermetic body bag for human remains. It meets IATA requirements for air transport and repatriation. It's air tight so no moisture can get in. Moisture=decomposition, we don't want that to happen.

I'm sure from some less scrupulous countries or individuals it would be a way of moving illegal items .
It must have happened .
Great topic .🤗
Hi, the airlines will always scan the coffins nothing can go through customs without the full checks. So hopefully if someone is doing the wrong thing these people will be caught. Thank you for your question take care 😊❤️
Did they go to the USA?
No, went back to Europe ❤️

Please take good care ❤️❤️
Never seen or used these bags we use metal Zigglars or Caskets with gaskets
We have been using these metal bags for years now a lot easier than the liners we used to use. 😊❤️
what do you do to prepare a body if it was mush when you got it
And we have answers the question on a video also ❤️❤️
Do you sometimes do cremations at your site before repatriation for people who do not want to be embalmed?
Hi, yes if the family is just wanting to repatriate the ashes, as this is much a cheaper option and the family prefers this. ❤️❤️
My aunt died in Michigan and was flown to Kentucky . She had had a viewing in Michigan , she was having a full funeral in Kentucky. I assume that she was just in her casket. I have always guessed that the casket was stored in baggage . Do they have to be strapped into the floor ? The casket , not the person .😂😂
Hi Francis you made me giggle with the last remark 😉 Yes the caskets are secured during flight ❤️❤️
Is that the same for body to travel interstate
Hiya, no in Australia a body can travel interstate unembalmed and we can use refrigerated transport vehicles or not depending on the distance. This may be different in other countries.
You need the right paperwork to transport a body anywhere though. 👍🏼
Hello Ladies! Thank you for the interesting process. It looked like the pants leg was cut. If it was, it for ease of changing his clothes on the receiving end?
Thanks again and have a pleasant day..
Hi 🤗, thank you, no his pants were all intact, a little bit to big for him maybe made it look like that. You have a lovely day too ❤️❤️
If it were financially possible, I’d fly back with my loved one. One last adventure together.
Totally ❤️❤️
So, this is what should have happened to Shane Warne’s body before and during the repatriation process. Thanks for the Insight.
Message in a bottle 😂
😉❤️❤️
Hi beautiful lady’s
Hello 🤗🥰🥰
is this body real in the first place and how do you have permission to photograph it without being lied to by its people🙂
💚💚
@@Areyoudyingtoknow I'm sorry if you didn't understand me, I'm using google translate
straight to Chicago or New York for the election
🤷♀️
Have you ever had a body, cremated and than have the cremains sent back home, repatriated, to their family in their home country.
Yes many times. ❤️❤️
sorry but the body is traveling on a passenger plane☺
yuck
😊❤️
