Embalming Korea. Co. Ltd

Greetings,

My name is Kyu-Sung Hwang, I am the CEO of Embarming Korea Co., Ltd.

 

In order to repatriate a deceased foreign national living in Korea to their home country (country of their origin), the body must be embalmed in accordance with the International Air Transport Regulations (IATA).

Repatriation of human remains is the process whereby human remains are transported from the State where death occurred to another State for burial at the request of the next-of-kin. Repatriating human remains is a complicated process involving the cooperation and coordination of various stakeholders on several levels to ensure that it is conducted efficiently and in compliance with relevant international and national regulations. These regulations are international agreements regarding the repatriation of human remains where the person died (of the disease) overseas to prevent risks or transmission of infectious and disease.

 

Embaming Korea Co., Ltd. is in the business of embalming after death and later repatriating of deceased to their home countries of more than 2.3 million foreign workers residing in Korea and foreigners visiting Korea.

In particular, we restore the bodies damaged by various accidents using specialized body restoration technology and repatriate them in their natural appearance, comforting the grief of the bereaved family and enhancing the dignity of the deceased.
