Case of Death

When a family member or friend dies, it is a cause for mourning. In the event of a death abroad, organizational matters must be addressed in addition to the grief. In the event of the death of a German citizen, the diplomatic mission abroad can arrange to notify the next of kin, provide advice on completing the necessary formalities locally, and put the family in touch with local funeral homes.

The urn or the body may be transported to Germany for burial. The Nigerian and German funeral homes will handle the necessary formalities.
