Using International Mortuary Shipping Company To Transport Remains Of The Deceased

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.

Several authorities around the world require a signed and filed death certificate before they give the nod. The family should keep information requested as accurate as possible to make the service smoother. Once this is done, the consulate at the home country embassy certifies that whatever has been filled is accurate. The embassy then allows the body to be taken back to the deceased home country.

Other countries have strict requirements on the vehicle in which the deceased would be transported. These specifics are communicated by the representatives on the ground for action before the body arrives, the family is notified of any obligations that it is required to perform. After 9/11 terror attack, US air safety authorities have placed limitations on the number of flights that go to certain cities and times between which certain cargo can be transported. If you are living in such areas, you may experience some delays in delivery of this body.

Several international, mortuary shipping companies give a whole solution that encompasses the cost of removing the body where it is located, preservation of the body awaiting transport, compliance to legal requirements, licensing and delivery of a body to the nearest airport. Others may charge a little more to bring the remains to nearest town or local morgue or to have the remains of your loved one 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 could pick a graveside service provider from nearby. However, you may stand to save something by buying the service as part of the whole solution from the international shipping company. Most of these firms cost disinterment as a separate service.

When looking for the shipping company, it sis good to approach a few mortuary shipping firms and look at their offers. Ask for a quote and evaluate what other added services that they offer. It is also important to ask if they have office in your country or state.
