What You Need To Know About International Funeral Shipping

By Anita Ortega


In these modern times, many people immigrate to other countries in search of work, to serve their countries and to enjoy pleasant attractions. Many people do not think much about what would happen if their loved one dies in a foreign country and what they need to do to bring him or her back home. People who have to transport human remains internationally find it more difficult to plan a funeral. Dealing with the unfamiliar laws of a foreign nation can also be distressing.

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.

Firms that help the bereaved to ship the remains of their loved ones are able to coordinate everything on your behalf. With their contacts, expertise and knowledge, they can guarantee you the dignified and safe transportation of the remains of your relative at a fair price. The fees they charge include the costs of collecting and removing the deceased, embalming his or her body, filing relevant documents, delivering it to the airport and departure from the same.

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.

To ship the remains of your loved one, you also need to use the services of a funeral home at the destination airport. Such a mortuary should be able to handle the collection of human remains, the import protocol and manage ongoing arrangements for funerals. You should seek to work with a mortuary that is well established and is experienced in international mortuary shipping. Such a mortuary will already have strategic contacts in many countries.

The main factors that determine the cost of transporting human remains internationally are the form of transport chosen and the destination. People who have lost a loved one can choose to transport his or her remains by land or by air. The cost of transporting human remains also vary based on whether the remains are cremated or none cremated.

The task of transporting a corpse can cost up to ten thousand dollars. Some mortuaries charge 3,800 to 5,500 dollars to transport human remains depending on the destination. This cost does not include the fees that an airline charges. Airline fees may range from 1,200 dollars to 4,500 dollars.

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.
