United States - Repatriation of Mortal Remains - Funeral shipping

Return of mortal remains or repatriation of mortal remains simply means the transportation of an insured person's deceased body back to their home country, and the other formalities associated with it.

Our Mission is to offer emotional support, friendship & provide a safe prompt and legal transportation for bereaved persons and to share their grief.

"Better, strangely, to have loved and lost than to have never risked loving at all. But that's perceived callously, no matter how true it is, especially to the one still lost to love gone. Love and grief, it seems, have an antagonistic relationship with each other."

Whether you need to arrange to move a deceased family member across the United States or return a loved one back to their country of origin to their final resting place; we can take care of the complete process with respect.

The United States of America has a large immigrant population, many of which choose repatriation to their country of origin upon death; we also have a growing transient senior population. More and more Americans are choosing to retire to warmer climates in Florida, California, Hawaii or even as far as Mexico and the Caribbean.

What does this mean for family members when a close one expires? Those left behind are faced with the issue of bringing Mom or Dad back to their hometown to be laid to rest in their designated cemetery plot.

We can help in ground transportation if the distance is not very great.

For long-distance transportation, air transportation is a preferred mode of journey.
If the deceased will be embalmed in the destination city, or will not be embalmed at all, an appropriate method of refrigeration will be necessary during transportation. The remains may be packed in ice or placed in a refrigerated container. If the body has been embalmed prior to transportation, refrigeration is not necessary. State legislation governing funerals homes can vary state-to-state, so the need for embalming may depend upon the origin and destination state or country.

The Funeral Casket is in most cases the most expensive item you will buy when planning a so-called modern day funeral service. Funeral Caskets are generally sold on their visual appeal, however, the prices charged for funeral Caskets varies enormously. Caskets are generally made from materials like woods, metals or plastics. The average casket sold in America today costs just over $2,500, however, some of the Bronze and Copper funeral Caskets can cost well over $15,000.

Caskets can also be constructed from such hardwoods as ash, maple, elm, poplar and cottonwood. Many of these wooden Caskets are hand sculpted and meticulously polished to a high gloss or satin finish which adds greatly to the visual appeal of the object.
