Shipping a Deceased Body Internationally

To ship a deceased body to another country from the U.S., several TSA policy and airlines rules and regulation must be met. First of all, the body must be embalmed in compliance with US standards and shipped in a TSA approved transportation container. Also, some vital documents will be required to process the body at the airport and to travel with the body.

These documents include several copies of the deceased’s death certificate, the deceased’s passport, communicable disease and funeral home affidavits, and transfer permits. Translation of all documents may also be required if the body is being shipped to a non-English speaking country. The name and location of the funeral home that will receive the body in the country it is being shipped to must also be provided.
