“Exceptional care, dignity & compassion.”
During one of the hardest moments of my life, this funeral home treated my fiancé and our family with exceptional care, dignity, and compassion. Every detail was handled with professionalism and kindness, which brought comfort during an overwhelming time. I am deeply grateful for the respect and empathy shown to us. I highly recommend them to anyone needing compassionate, thoughtful service.

“This funeral home was an oasis in this tragedy.”
Finding this funeral home was an oasis in this tragedy we were experiencing. While visiting NY, my brother had a heart attack and died instantly. As tourists, this country was completely foreign to us. We thought transporting my brother's body to our home country would be super complicated and expensive. But finding International Funeral Service was the best thing that could have happened to us, 1000% recommended.
— Edgardo M., Hudson County
“Definitely makes the process a lot smoother.”
Loosing a loved one is never easy, but working with the right people definitely makes the process a lot smoother. Thanks to Angel and his team my grandfathers funeral was very beautiful. They spoke to us through each step of the process. He would follow up with us and share kind and encouraging words. We are so thankful to him and his team for all that they did. Thank you so much again!

FAQs
Everything You Need to Know
How do I ship a loved one from New Jersey to another state or country?
Shipping human remains requires specialized coordination that cannot be handled by standard couriers. As TSA Known Shippers, we manage the entire professional chain of custody:
- Initial Transport: We provide immediate pickup from any NJ hospital or facility.
- Professional Preparation: We perform the necessary embalming and preparation required by airline and international health regulations.
- Specialized Containers: We provide the required Air Trays (for domestic) or Ziegler Cases (zinc-lined for international) to ensure a secure journey.
- Flight Logistics: We book the mortuary cargo directly with major airlines at EWR or JFK and manage all airport delivery and receiving coordination.
How do I ship a loved one to another country from New Jersey?
International shipping (repatriation) requires specialized legal and logistical steps that differ for every nation. As experts in global mortuary transport, we manage the entire process for you:
- Consulate & Embassy Liaison: We hand-carry all required documents to the appropriate consulate in New York or DC to secure the necessary "Consulate Seals" and authorizations.
- International Documentation: We obtain the Apostilles, Non-Contagious Disease affidavits, and certified translations required by the destination country's government.
- Specialized Zinc Liners: Many countries require a Ziegler Case (a hermetically sealed zinc liner) inside the casket. We provide these and ensure they meet all international health and safety laws.
- Airport Coordination: We coordinate the final delivery to Newark (EWR) or JFK and provide the receiving funeral director abroad with the flight details and tracking numbers.
What is a "TSA Known Shipper" and why does it matter?
A TSA Known Shipper is a specialized federal designation that allows us to book mortuary transport directly on passenger aircraft. Most general funeral homes do not have this status, which can lead to significant delays. Our certification ensures your loved one receives priority booking and secure, expedited handling.
How long does the international funeral shipping process take?
Typically, the repatriation process takes 5 to 10 business days. This timeline is determined by the speed of consulate document processing, New Jersey health department clearances, and airline flight availability from Newark (EWR) or JFK. We manage every step to ensure the fastest possible transit.
Do you provide services throughout all of New Jersey?
Yes. While our primary facility is in Perth Amboy, we provide 24/7 emergency service and immediate pickup for every county in New Jersey, including Middlesex, Bergen, Hudson, Essex, and Ocean counties. Location never limits our ability to provide care.
How much does international or domestic funeral shipping cost?
Shipping costs vary based on the destination, airline cargo fees, and specific consulate requirements. Because every case is unique, we provide a transparent, line-item quote that covers transportation, professional preparation, and all legal filings. Call us at (732) 347-6000 for an immediate estimate.
Which countries do you ship to?
We provide worldwide repatriation. We regularly coordinate shipments to Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean, Europe, Africa, and Asia. We also provide domestic "state-to-state" shipping to all 50 U.S. states via air or professional ground transport.
Do you have bilingual staff to assist with the process?
Yes. ¡Sí, hablamos español! We understand that navigating legal paperwork is difficult enough without a language barrier. Our bilingual directors provide clear, compassionate communication in both English and Spanish to ensure you are informed at every stage of the process.
