We receive loved ones across Nigeria's major airports.
SureRest handles repatriation into Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, and Uyo from abroad, and transfers loved ones between states within Nigeria, with onward transport to destinations throughout the country. If you need a location not listed here, please ask.
We repatriate from across the world
Families reach out to us from the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, the United Arab Emirates, Australia, and Brazil, among other countries. Wherever your loved one has passed, we coordinate their journey safely home to Nigeria.
Where we operate, and what we handle at each airport
Lagos
Receiving and clearance through Murtala Muhammed International, with onward transport across Lagos and the South West.
Abuja
Coordination through Nnamdi Azikiwe International for families across the Federal Capital Territory and northern states.
Port Harcourt
Reception and clearance for Rivers State and the wider South South, with our team present and direct updates to the family.
Uyo

Within Nigeria and beyond
As well as international repatriation, we arrange transfers within Nigeria, bringing loved ones from one state to another. If your family is in a part of Nigeria we have not mentioned, please contact us and we will explain what is possible.
What happens at the airport
Receiving remains at a Nigerian airport involves cargo clearance, documentation checks, and liaison with airport and customs authorities. We are there in person to handle all of this so the family does not have to be.
Once the overseas funeral home issues the Airway Bill and the flight is confirmed, we track the cargo and receive the remains at the airport. We handle the clearance formalities and, once released, arrange dignified transport to the family's chosen destination.
We keep the family and the funeral home abroad updated at each point in this process, so no one is left waiting without information.
From one state to another in Nigeria, we bring them home.
Repatriation is not only from abroad. When a loved one passes away in one part of Nigeria and needs to reach another, SureRest arranges the transfer from one state to another with the same dignity and care we bring to international repatriation.
Documentation handled
We prepare and coordinate the paperwork the transfer needs, so the family does not have to chase offices.
Dignified transport
A respectful journey between states, by road or by air, arranged end to end.
In contact at every stage
We keep the family informed from collection to arrival, so no one is left waiting without news.
We are ready to help you bring them home.
Reach out whenever you are ready. A member of our team will respond with care, and there is no obligation in making contact.
