Jack Vettriano

14 June 2025 — Jack Vettriano

SpeedLink was entrusted with the important task of collecting the cremated remains of the famous Scottish painter - Jack Vettriano - from France for repatriation back to his family in Scotland complete with packing, transport, customs clearance, and final mile doorstep delivery.

Our focus

Years of experience in the freight and logistics industry has placed SpeedLink in a strong position to offer practical and sensibly priced ashes repatriation services from abroad to the UK.

Mr Vettriano's publishing company turned to SpeedLink when the funeral home in France ran up against a wall in finding a suitable service to repatriate Mr. Vettriano's ashes to the UK. SpeedLink was able to collect the ashes on a timed slot, pack the urn suitably for international transport, fly them from Nice to Edinburgh, clearing customs and then delivering them to the door. A truly door-to-door service.

The urn was with our personnel at all times, every step of the way.
