Active since the year 2000
More than two decades of international funeral expertise.
Bora Schweitzer has been working in international funeral services since the year 2000. Even then, the first specialised services for repatriations within Europe were established – guided by the conviction that families deserve reliable, dignified support without language barriers in one of life's hardest moments.
Over the years, a closely connected European network of authorities, consulates, embassies and long-standing partner firms has grown. These relationships allow us today to organise international transfers and repatriations at short notice, in close coordination and with hands-on experience in every procedural step.
What began as a specialisation in cross-border transfers is today a complete funeral service with a strong international focus – carried by personal availability, decades of practice and a team that knows the realities of European families first-hand.
