International Mortuary Shipping Companies Shipping And Funeral Services

By Lelia Hall


Globalization has made it easier for family and friends to travel to different areas of the world to work, for further studies or just to enjoy a vacation. In an unfortunate case where death strikes in foreign lands, it is normally very hectic to bring the body back for a burial. There is a long process in clearing with the home country embassy and burial plans for the deceased. This does not need to be a real hustle with the presence of international mortuary shipping solutions.

International mortuary companies are made of experienced members and a network of representatives that provide national and international shipping for the remains of the deceased. Shipping requirements for human remains vary from country to country. Before the remains are shipped, several details have to be fulfilled to the letter.

Around the world, most systems require you to have signed death certificate and file the information with the relevant authorities before a burial can be held. It is important to ensure accuracy of information written in those documents to prevent hitches in the system. The documents are the gone through by the consulate that sits at the home country embassy before the body is okay for shipping.

There are countries that have specific requirements for shipping and the hearse. The shipping firm liaises with the contacts on the ground for these requirements to be fulfilled before the arrival of particular body. In case the input of family is required, they are notified in due course. The US air authorities placed specific limitations on air travel to certain cities after September 9/11 bombings. This was extended to cargo that was transported to those cities. You may expect some delay if you live in one of these places.

Most mortuary solution firms give a whole package where they cater for removing the body from where the deceased died, embalming of a body, completion of legal documentation, acquiring of relevant licenses, and shipping of a body to the destination airport. For extra pay, the body may be delivered to your town or the nearest local mortuary. The body can also be further prepared.

Rather than have the body delivered for burial, you may decide to have it cremated. In fact, most cultures around the world are considering cremation as an option. Again, there are different regulations from country to country regarding cremation. You may have to wait a little while before the cremated remains are delivered home. Cremation costs are also a little cheaper since it takes less cost to transport cremated remains.

You can hire graveside service providers from your locality. However, it is a little cheaper if you hired the shipping company as part of this whole package. The cost of disinterment also varies and you should inquire before picking up the service.

It is good to compare services offered by several international shipping companies before settling on one of them. Ask for quotes and evaluate services and costs allocated You may also ask for the cost of add on services. Finally pick the service provider with local presentation.
