Q. How long should it take for a deceased to arrive in their foreign country and be buried?
A. Everything revolves around the Office of the Consulate General. Each and every country has a specific set of rules and regulations that must be complied with in order for the deceased shipping service to take place. No funeral shipping takes place without Consulate approval. From the time of death, with all requirements having been completed it usually takes five business days.
Q. Who coordinates all of the flights and other details?
A. Our Worldwide Shipping service is complete in every detail. We not only complete Consulate compliance requirements we also coordinate all airline travel. The cost for airline travel is exactly what the airline charges. There are no expenses or commissions added to the airline travel expense.
