FIAT-IFTA – The World Organization of Funeral Operatives is closely monitoring the evolving situation in parts of the Middle East.

In this challenging time, our thoughts are with our members, partners, and funeral professionals throughout the region. The safety, security, and wellbeing of every individual remain our foremost concern.

We are also deeply mindful of the families who are awaiting the repatriation of their loved ones from abroad. Periods of instability can bring additional uncertainty and distress to those already facing loss, and we extend our heartfelt support to all who are navigating these difficult circumstances.

The funeral profession is grounded in dialogue, mutual support, and international cooperation. In moments of uncertainty, these shared values become even more essential.

We stand in solidarity with our members and the global funeral community, and we express our sincere hope for stability and a swift de-escalation.
