Repatriation Report
This document specifies all of the details of the person who has passed away. It acts as a checklist for paperwork that we are required to collect on your behalf, logs all jewellery or property that we handle, and requires a signature from third parties to countersign the information on that document (e.g. a member of staff at a hospital where we collect someone who has passed away, justifying that the person as any jewellery or property at the time that we attended. Then a third party at the location where we take the person who has passed away to, will sign to take custody of those items listed, out of our care).
