Bringing Dad home from Manchester to Enugu. Paperwork, embassy, timings, costs. Happy to answer anything for anyone facing the same, it was the hardest fortnight of my life.

Thank you for offering. Families face this alone far too often.

How far ahead did the embassy paperwork need to start? We may be doing this next year.

Get the funeral director in both countries talking directly. That was the thing that unstuck ours.

Holding you in mind. That fortnight takes something out of a person that doesn't come straight back.
