Funeral Shipping
Funeral Shipping and Human Remains Repatriation, Domestic and International
Based in North Miami, Funeral Shipping coordinates the respectful transportation of a loved one within the United States and to destinations around the world, including all of the supporting documents. We work with families and with funeral homes, and our line is open 24 hours a day, every day.
Compassionate help when it matters most
Losing someone far from home brings urgent questions about paperwork, airlines, timing and who to speak with. We guide families and funeral professionals through each step, explain what is needed in plain language, and keep everyone involved informed. You do not need to understand permits, consulates or airline cargo rules; that is our work.
Whether your loved one needs to travel to another state, to the Caribbean, Central or South America, Europe or elsewhere, we begin by listening: where they are now, where they need to go, and what dates matter to your family. If you are at the very beginning, read First Steps When a Loved One Dies Far From Home.
What you can expect from us
- One point of contact. You deal with a coordinator who knows your case and works with the funeral homes, the airline and, where needed, the consulate.
- Plain-language guidance. We tell you which documents are needed, who provides each one, and what could slow things down.
- Honest timelines. Many steps are controlled by registrars, consulates and airlines, so we do not promise dates we cannot control. We give you a realistic range and keep you updated.
- Quotes that explain what is included. Quotes are prepared case by case, and we explain what each part covers and what could change the price.
- Respect for your family’s wishes. We take religious, cultural and language needs into account when planning.

Affordable funeral shipping: understand the cost before you decide
Families rightly ask what funeral shipping will cost. There is no flat rate, because the total depends on the route, the destination’s requirements, the airline, the preparation and the funeral homes at both ends. What we can do is show you where the money goes, so that you can compare quotes fairly and keep the total as low as is reasonable without cutting corners on dignity or paperwork.
Read What Affects the Cost of Funeral Shipping, and How to Keep It Affordable, and ask us for an itemized estimate. Starting early, comparing the same scope and asking about container options are the most reliable ways to avoid paying for more than you need.
