Trusted by Families Across the World
"The repatriation of my father to Brazil involved specific health department clearances and documentation that the staff navigated correctly. They communicated with us clearly about what was needed and when. The family in São Paulo confirmed everything arrived in proper order."
"Very professional and helpful staff. They helped our family with the repatriation of remains to Colombia during a very stressful time. The funeral director was bilingual and explained every step of the legal process clearly. We are very grateful for their help."
"We needed to return my grandfather to South Korea for burial in the family plot. The staff knew the documentation requirements for South Korea specifically, handled the Korean consulate liaison, and coordinated the flight from JFK. My family in Seoul said the receiving process was handled correctly on their end."
"State-to-state transport from New Jersey to Minnesota was coordinated well. The team arranged the pickup, the air transport and the delivery to the receiving funeral home in Minneapolis. Clear communication throughout."

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I ship a loved one from New Jersey to another state or country?
As TSA Known Shippers, we manage the professional chain of custody for shipping human remains — from facility pickup and preparation to specialized containers and direct airline coordination at EWR or JFK.
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.
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 now to get an 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.
