Repatriation Services Repatriation concerns the restoration or return of a person to the country of origin, birth or citizenship. Many people wish to be returned home to their country of origin after their passing. Sharkey Funeral Directors have many years of experience in worldwide repatriation and will liaise with consular, coroner, high commission, air or shipping line and statutory authorities.
	Cremation Cremation is a part of a funeral where the coffin or casket is placed in a cremator, reduced to ashes and placed in an urn. Sharkey funeral directors provide professional advice on cremation and cremation services.
Embalming & Restorative Art Embalming is the process of preserving a body by means of preservative chemicals and techniques. Practiced by the Egyptians from the earliest times, and there brought to such perfection that even today those embalmed thousands of years ago remain preserved. Modern embalmers use preservative chemicals in treating the body to retard deterioration.
	Exhumation Services Exhumation involves disinterring a coffin or casket. Sharkey Funeral Directors provide an extensive & sensitive exhumation service organising the required legal, health and safety documents; notifying the relevant authorities; conducting the exhumation and any subsequent re-internment necessary.
