Q: Is Islamic burial within 24 hours possible?

Where local regulations and routing allow it, yes — we prioritise the fastest available pathway in line with Islamic tradition. Some countries' bureaucratic processes make a 24-hour turnaround impossible, but our overseas networks and direct insurer relationships often allow significantly faster repatriation than families expect. Call us immediately if rapid Islamic repatriation is required.

Q: Can my family view our loved one before international transport?

In most cases, yes. We can arrange a private viewing overseas after preparation, and another in Australia before the funeral service if you wish. Some countries restrict viewings depending on circumstances of death or cause of death. Your coordinator will advise on what is possible in your specific situation.
