International repatriation procedures and worldwide transportation may involve different religious, cultural and organizational considerations depending on the country, religion, family traditions and individual circumstances involved.

Many religions include specific traditions and guidelines regarding the handling of the deceased, washing procedures, funeral preparations, burial practices, timeframes and religious rituals.

Cultural traditions and regional customs may also affect organizational procedures and international funeral arrangements in different parts of the world.
