Before a funeral or memorial service can be arranged, the bereaved family must first determine how to ship their loved one\u2019s remains home. This repatriation process can be complicated (and expensive) depending on the circumstances involved. Here\u2019s what you need to know about how to ship a body home from another country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to Expect When Shipping a Body<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When someone dies in another country, shipping the remains back home or to the place of burial is known as repatriation. However, repatriation of remains is usually the last step in the process and a number of things need to happen before repatriation can occur. It\u2019s important to note that the local laws of the country where the death occurred apply, which means the local authorities are responsible for investigating the cause of death e.g., a motor vehicle accident. In some cases, the investigation may take a long time to resolve thus delaying release of the foreign death certificate and the repatriation process.<\/p>\r\n    <div class=\"single-content-banner\">\r\n                                    <div class=\"single-content-banner__shortcode\">\r\n                            <div class=\"input-search-wrapper input-search-wrapper--bottom\">\r\n            <h2 class=\"title-search\">See funeral home prices in your area<\/h2>\r\n            <div class=\"input-search search-home\">\r\n                <input placeholder=\"Enter your City or ZIP Code\" type=\"search\" class=\"addressMain\">\r\n                <button type=\"submit\" class=\"blue-button\">\r\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.funeralocity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/funeralocity\/dist\/images\/icons\/search-button.svg\">Search\r\n                <\/button>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n            <span class=\"small-text\">Use zip code for more precise search results<\/span>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n                        <\/div>\r\n\n\n\n\n<p>Family members are also expected to comply with the country\u2019s rules regarding funeral or cremation procedures. For example, some countries do not allow cremation of human remains which can add emotional and financial stress to an already difficult situation. The family often has to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.funeralocity.com\/blog\/2020\/04\/07\/who-should-pay-for-funeral-costs\/\">pay the funeral home costs<\/a> and body preparation expenses upfront in order for the remains to be transported out of the foreign country.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who Can Help With Repatriation?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When a US citizen dies abroad, the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Consular Affairs is available to assist the bereaved family with the repatriation process. Consulate officials help the next of kin navigate the foreign country\u2019s laws, obtain their loved one\u2019s remains, and manage the paperwork requirements. The diplomatic guidance of consular officers familiar with local funeral regulations can be invaluable to grieving family and friends, so always think ahead if you are traveling overseas and write down the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usembassy.gov\/\">contact information for the respective US embassy, consulate and\/or diplomatic mission<\/a> for all the places you plan to visit.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n    <div class=\"single-content-banner\">\r\n                                    <a href=\"https:\/\/funeralocity.com\/average-funeral-price\" class=\"single-content-banner__image\">\r\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"desktop\" src=\"https:\/\/www.funeralocity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Banner_1_desktop.png\" alt=\"Compare the cost of funerals in your city\">\r\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"tablet\" src=\"https:\/\/www.funeralocity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Banner_1_tablet.png\" alt=\"Compare the cost of funerals in your city\">\r\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"mobile\" src=\"https:\/\/www.funeralocity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Banner_1_mobile.png\" alt=\"Compare the cost of funerals in your city\">\r\n                <\/a>\r\n                        <\/div>\r\n\n\n\n\n<p>What if your loved one dies on a cruise ship? When a passenger dies at sea or at a foreign port of entry, most cruise lines assign a dedicated \u201ccare team\u201d to help the family figure out what to do next. The care team helps the family organize the logistical arrangements for returning the deceased person home, including working with local authorities to obtain a death certificate and handling the remains if necessary.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many funeral homes also help their families understand the requirements involved with shipping a body. Your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.funeralocity.com\/\">local funeral director<\/a> has likely guided other clients through the process and thus has the practical knowledge necessary to organize the logistics and support family members as needed.<\/p>\r\n    <div class=\"single-content-banner\">\r\n                                    <a href=\"https:\/\/funeralocity.com\/cremationclub\" class=\"single-content-banner__image\">\r\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"desktop\" src=\"https:\/\/www.funeralocity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Banner_2_desktop.png\" alt=\"Advanced directive planning - for peace of mind\">\r\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"tablet\" src=\"https:\/\/www.funeralocity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Banner_2_tablet.png\" alt=\"Advanced directive planning - for peace of mind\">\r\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"mobile\" src=\"https:\/\/www.funeralocity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Banner_2_mobile.png\" alt=\"Advanced directive planning - for peace of mind\">\r\n                <\/a>\r\n                        <\/div>\r\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Much Does Shipping a Body Cost?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The costs to ship a body home from a foreign country depend on a variety of factors, including distance, weight, and available transport providers. In general, it can be fairly expensive to ship a body home in a casket (approximately $3,000 &#8211; $20,000) vs. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.funeralocity.com\/blog\/2020\/01\/09\/tips-for-flying-with-cremated-remains\/\">shipping cremated remains<\/a> in a cremation urn. Most airlines that transport human remains are designated \u201cknown shippers\u201d approved by the TSA (Transportation Security Administration) and usually provide a quote on how much it will cost to transport a loved one\u2019s remains to the burial location. Many funeral homes are also known shippers and include this service in the funeral arrangements as agreed upon by the family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind that the Dept. of State does not provide any financial assistance to return the deceased\u2019s remains to the United States (and neither do cruise lines if the death occurs at sea). To avoid the financial burden of paying a large sum of money to ship a body home, people traveling overseas should always consider buying a travel insurance policy that includes <strong>repatriation insurance<\/strong>. Repatriation insurance usually covers the necessary costs of embalming, buying a shipping <a href=\"https:\/\/www.funeralocity.com\/blog\/2019\/06\/03\/choosing-a-casket-everything-you-need-to-know\/\">casket<\/a>, and the transportation costs to ship the body home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, in most cases repatriation benefits do not cover the costs of the actual funeral service or cremation.
