Process and Fees Related to Transporting

Remains
Transporting the deceased from overseas can be complex. Costs
vary from country to country, and the process is much easier in a
major city, while more dif cult, and often costly, in a remote area.
Cultural attitudes and laws related to death vary across the globe,
and disposition of remains must be done in accordance with the
country’s rules and customs.
If your loved one dies overseas, the U.S. consulate in that country
will assist your family in making arrangements with local authorities,
and will prepare a mortuary certi cate in English, which includes the
cause of death and other essential information, to ensure shipment
and U.S. Customs clearance. There may be fees for embassy
paperwork and documents.
If you are shipping your loved one’s body, preparation of remains
may include embalming, depending on the country. You will need a
receiving funeral service provider in the US as well. The remains
may need to be sheltered in refrigerated storage, and there will be a
cost for a casket, or approved container for transportation.
There will also be an international ship-out fee, starting at $3,000-
$4,000, according to US-Funerals.com. The airline’s international
mortuary cargo fee is calculated according to the weight and the
distance between the point of origin and the destination. The total
