  1. I want to continue sharing this moment with you because, as I wrote previously, you are a truly useful source of information. I want to thank everyone who suggested a company that could follow my path until the ashes were repatriated and I must thank Mr. Cody Hambly, Senior Case Manager, for his help. I don't know if I can put the name of the company, so I won't do it for the moment.
    I also contacted the Embassy, but luckily Mr. Hambly has someone who can help me with this too.
    The bank account is not a problem, as my wife received her money in a Spanish account and did not have any here in Thailand. I just don't understand, but maybe I'm wrong, why the tourist police were called to the morgue and not the "normal" one. But it doesn't matter.
    I am now in Bangkok waiting for the necessary documents to be translated, having married abroad.

    I'm sorry for your loss. You usually permission from the embassy to cremate any foreigner, but I don't know the regulations specific to Spain. I doubt you need their permission to transport the urn. 

     

    With regard to Qatar airlines, I don't know of any specific restrictions of carrying the ashes of someone, but maybe airline from Muslim countries have regulations. I would ask the airline directly. The ashes have no safety issues, so I don't know why any airline would have restrictions....same with importing them into Spain.  

    In case you do not know, the cremation here in Thailand is often incomplete and some largish pieces of bone can be left, this could be important with urn size. 

    I choose Qatar because we have always flown with them, but I didn't think about the Muslim component. Thank you. If they have problems, I can change companies.
  3. I have never written on the Forum, but I have always read it over the years. The advices I read, helped me in the past to resolve some dynamics especially related to immigration. This is why I want to share this sad moment with you and also ask for some advices. Days ago, unfortunately, my wife suffered a heart attack and passed away. In the past days I contacted his family in Spain to inform them of what happened and they told me to take care of his transport to Spain, since they want to have her remains there. What I would like to ask is the following:
    1) I know it might seem material, but I am forced to sell the apartment I bought years ago to cover the expenses I will have to bear. No one knows a real estate agency that can help me with a short-term sales process?
    2) We have decided with his family to transport only the ashes and I will deliver the urn with the ashes to the family. How should I proceed to "burn" her? Should I contact the Embassy to transport the urn?
    3) How to deal with the airline? Do I need to be advise the airline of what I'm transporting? I will be using Qatar Airways.
    Thanks if anyone could help me.
