A charity set up by grieving parents after the loss of their son has helped bring home over 1000 Irish people who have died abroad.

The Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust was set up by Kevin’s parents Colin and Eithne after their son tragically passed while living abroad in 2013. They have since helped with the repatriation of 1006 people who died overseas in the last seven years, including 186 in Munster and 60 in Cork alone.
