It’s the call no one wants. A loved one has died. But what happens if they haven’t died in Ireland? The Irish tend to bring the bodies of their dead home. Repatriation is a somewhat unknown process and only becomes part of the story when deaths make the news. Never as much as in 2015 when a terrible tragedy in Berkeley California left five Irish families devastated when their sons and daughters died in a balcony collapse at a 21st birthday party.
