Worldwide to Russia Cremated Remains Courier
SpeedLink has introduced a new service for transporting cremated remains to Russia, launched in September 2024. This service helps overcome the challenges of shipping cremated remains to Russia, particularly following restrictions since 2022. With over 5 years of expertise in international cremated remains shipping, SpeedLink has proven to be a leader in simplifying and reducing costs globally. We are now proud to offer a comprehensive solution for the repatriation of cremated remains from anywhere in the world to Russia via our London and Zurich offices. SpeedLink is the most trusted choice for the safe and secure transportation of your loved one’s cremated remains from around the globe to Russia.
This service is ideal for families and organisations that are budget-conscious and can accommodate flexible timings. It replaces our flagship personalised service to Russia, which has been unavailable since 2022.
The Simplest Way to Ship Ashes to Russia
Our three-step process makes it easy to transport cremated remains to Russia:
1 - Parcel the Ashes: Courier the ashes to a SpeedLink office or arrange for SpeedLink to collect them (collection is subject to additional charges).
2 - Documentation and Shipment: SpeedLink prepares all necessary documentation and ships the ashes to our Swiss facility, from where they are transported to Russia by road.
3 -Final Delivery: Russian Post handles the final mile and door-to-door delivery throughout Russia.
Prices start at £1395 GBP / $1839 USD
including packing, customs and door-step delivery

Key Benefits of SpeedLink's Cremated Remains Services
- Eliminate costly additional services from funeral homes.
- Negate the need for confusing, overpriced, and deceptive freight forwarding services from the UK on export AND import to Russia.
- Eliminate cumbersome customs clearance procedures.
Packaging
Ashes must be shipped in a box measuring no more than 22.9cm x 15.2cm x 15.2cm (9" x 6" x 6")² Urns, containers or scatter tubes larger than these dimensions are not suitable for this service. SpeedLink can safely re-pack on request for a nominal fee.
Regulations & Paperwork
Regulations and paperwork are simple and straightforward with SpeedLink's International Cremated Remains Repatriation Services. The only paperwork required for cross-border transport is a Death Certificate and a Cremation Certificate or the local equivalents.³
Permission is not generally required to repatriate cremated remains anywhere. However, some countries require documentation or certificates of 'non-objection' when repatriating cremated remains which SpeedLink can help to arrange.
Price Match Guarantee
We offer to beat any written quotation for a like-for-like service. Please ask for details.
¹ Shipments are consolidated in the UK for onward transport by air and road via neutral third countries such as Switzerland, Turkey or the UAE. Service is available to/from most countries and territories. However, some countries require our personalised, hand-carry service.
² For this service, x-ray penetrable receptacles such as cardboard, plastic or wood measuring no more than 22.9cm x 15.2cm x 15.2cm are required.
³ Death and cremation certificates (or local equivalents) must travel with the shipment in all cases. These must be translated into Russian and ‘legalised’ prior to dispatch. Legalised documents then have an ‘apostille’ (stamped official certificate) attached. These are required for security and customs clearance purposes.

How Does It Work?
To arrange for a cremated remains shipment, simply Contact Us for immediate assistance.
- We need the full UK and destination address for the sender and receiver.
- We then need to ascertain the timeframe you require the shipment to be completed.
- This will allow us to provide you with a tailored quotation† and advise a transit time.
- On receipt of your instruction to proceed, an up-front payment by credit or debit card, BACS, Chaps, SEPA or similar electronic funds transfer is required to book the service.
- A Booking confirmation will be emailed with the above collection and delivery details as well as desired dates, times and additional services selected. An invoice will be attached.
- The cremated remains will need to be lodged with SpeedLink at our London (Farnborough) offices no later than the 15th of the month, in a cardboard box not more than 22.9cm x 15.2cm x 15.2cm (9”x 6” x 6”). SpeedLink can help with repackaging if required.
- The cremated remains shipment will then be forwarded to SpeedLink’s Swiss facility in Zurich later in the month.
- Once the cremated remains have arrived in Switzerland, SpeedLink will prepare them for international forwarding via Swiss Post, complete with packaging and customs declarations.
- Swiss Post then forwards the ashes via road to Russia where Russian Post - Почта России – then handles final mile / doorstep delivery to any area of Russia.
† Additional services such as a timed collection or splitting of ashes for transport to different locations can be added. Please ask our team for more information.

SpeedLink makes every effort to ensure all cremated remains shipments are handled with great care, dignity and professionalism.
For our Russia services, SpeedLink's liability ends upon the shipment being lodged with Swiss Post Limited in Zurich, or any other third party shipping service that facilitates onward connections with Russian Post - Почта России.
Once a shipment has been successfully lodged with any such third party, SpeedLink deems to have discharged it's responsibility to the consignor (shipper), limiting SpeedLink's responsibility to the consignment at that point.
The shipper accepts any and all risks, and agrees to indemnify SpeedLink against any claim resulting from the delay or failure on the part of Russian Post to handle, clear customs, ship, or deliver said consignment, and accepts that proof of delivery may not be possible from SpeedLink, Swiss Post or any other third party involved in the process.
