Since it first opened its doors in 2006, Middle East Assistance has been providing exactly what it says on the tin for almost two decades: burial, repatriation and cremation services in Dubai and further beyond.
Clients who’ve worked with them appreciated the free consultations and they’re very open to discussion when it comes to the different options. It’s not always an easy thing to talk about but, it’s nice that the staff’s always ready to help.
We appreciated how Middle East Assistance remained very responsive throughout the whole process. For one, they provide regular updates regarding the arrangements made, which is quite good for a client’s peace of mind.
Best of all, Middle East Assistance is also very efficient with the more ‘mundane’ aspects such as document handling. We can really see why they’re a top choice for people looking for timely cremation services in Dubai.

Did you know HumanCare World Wide also offers assistance for people who’ve just lost their loved ones? It’s kind of a natural extension from their initial charge as a medical tourism service, which is well-appreciated.
Outside their medical transport, HumanCare World Wide also covers burial or cremation, including transfers for say, someone who needs to bring their departed abroad or even just transferring an urn somewhere else.
Their staff was also very helpful. They explained how their coverage stretches to just about anywhere across the globe, which is helpful given the huge influx of international visitors to the city.
This is all done using the company’s very own in-house air ambulances, ensuring that urns are transferred safely, privately, and most importantly, securely: and customers won’t even need to worry about handling the air waybill.

The Ancestor Funeral Services is dedicated to streamlining mortal services for families, whether local or expat. So while they mainly operate in Dubai, their support also extends worldwide.
The Ancestor handles the complete process for cremation and then some. They provide international repatriation for those preferring a burial or cremation abroad, like say, for expats living here.
Surprisingly, they also offer help with newborn documentation and family history records.
We heard glowing praise from previous clients about the home’s ability to meet even the strictest schedules and deadlines– some examples they cited included arranging a funeral before a client has to travel or before a mandatory holiday break.
With the company boasting competitive prices for their services as compared to other providers, we’ve also found that they can come especially in handy for those arranging a cremation without breaking the bank.
