Essential Information About Utilizing International Funeral Shipping Services

By Anita Ortega


People relocate to other countries for a number of reasons including recreation, work and serving their countries. Many people who have their loved ones in other countries never think about what would happen if they die until this happens. Transporting a body from a foreign country to your own can be an added burden to your funeral plans. You can find it stressful to deal with the laws of another country.

It is not easy to hold a funeral because of the costs involved and the legislation that governs a number of aspects of holding such an event. Not everyone knows about the process of transporting a corpse and it is not advisable to rely on a local mortuary that does not know how to carry out mortuary shipping. To avoid additional costs and unnecessary delays, grieving family members can utilize the services of companies or funeral homes that offer international funeral shipping services.

Companies that provide mortuary shipping services usually coordinate everything on behalf of their clients. Their knowledge, expertise and contacts guarantee their clients that the remains of their loved ones will be transported in a safe and dignified manner at a reasonable price. Their fees include the costs of collecting, removing and embalming the body, filing the required documents, delivering the body to the airport and transporting it to its destination.

After contacting a company that ships human remains, it will collect the body of your relative from where he or she passed on and take it to a mortuary. Afterwards the company will collect the items needed to ship a body like shipping containers and sealer caskets. It then coordinates all the state, local and documents required by the country that is receiving the remains of the deceased. It also books flights.

People who want to ship the remains of their relative also need to work with a local funeral home. This mortuary will help them collect caskets, handle import procedures and manage ongoing funeral arrangements. It is wise to work with a well established mortuary that has adequate experience in shipping bodies internationally. Such mortuaries usually have important contacts in many nations.

The costs of transporting human remains vary considerably depending on the choice of transport and the destination. Companies that offer mortuary shipping services offer air and land transport. The costs of transporting cremated human remains are cheaper than those of transporting bodies.

You may have to pay up to 10,000 dollars for the shipping services. Some funeral homes that provide mortuary transportation services may ask you to pay about 3,800 to 5,500 dollars for their services and this depends on the country that the remains are being transported to. The airline fees that may lie between 1,200 and 4,500 are not included shipping charges.

Most enterprises that ship human remains also assist their clients to arrange a basic cremation. They make arrangements for the body to be cremated in the country where a person died and ship the ashes to his or her country. The average cost of cremating a body is one thousand dollars. Shipping cremated human remains usually costs less than 1000 dollars.
