International Human Remains Shipping

Losing a loved one is one of the most challenging life experiences. When a loved one passes away, it feels as if the world has turned upside down. The sense of loss can be overwhelming and plunge one into deep grief.

The process of transporting a loved one's remains across international borders can be complex, emotionally complicated, and fraught with logistical challenges. At Bergen Funeral, we understand the importance of handling this delicate task with the utmost care, respect, and compassion.

Compliance and Documentation

Our first priority is full compliance with regulations. Extensive documentation must be prepared, including a death certificate, an embalming certificate if applicable, and an export permit from the local government.

We work closely with you to gather all necessary records and ensure they meet the importing country's stringent standards. Any missing or incorrect information could delay or prevent the remains from crossing the border. We double-check every detail to minimize complications and avoid distressing delays.

Preparing the Remains

The human remains must be embalmed appropriately and placed within a hermetically sealed casket or container approved by the destination country. At Bergen Funeral, our licensed embalmers and funeral directors have decades of experience preparing remains to the highest standards for international transport.

We use only the finest sealants and protective materials to ensure the remains arrive in the same dignified condition in which they departed. Every step of the process is performed with utmost care and respect.

Arranging Transportation

We help determine the most direct and timely route to ship the remains, whether by air or ground. For air transport, we secure space on the flight, complete all required shipping documents, and arrange for special handling of the remains at every point of transition.

For overland transport, we arrange for a specialized vehicle and an experienced international driver to deliver the remains across borders with the utmost care and attention.

Clearing Customs and Borders

It is often the most complex part of the process. We work closely with agents in the destination country to ensure the remains clear customs and border control without delay.

Any import permits, health certificates or additional documentation is obtained in advance to avoid issues upon arrival that could cause distress or hinder the timely receipt of the remains. We are accustomed to navigating complex regulations. Contact us today for more information.
