Crossing Me Over
Transfer of the Body from Place of Death to Funeral Home or Morgue:
Deceased body transportation services retrieve the body from the place of death, which can be a hospital, hospice, nursing home, residence, or scene of an accident. They use specialized vehicles (often referred to as "hearses" when transporting to a funeral or "removal vehicles" for initial transfers) designed to safely and discreetly transport deceased individuals.
Cross-State or Cross-Country Transportation:
Sometimes, families or legal authorities may request that a body be transported to another state or even another country for burial or cremation. Deceased body transporters coordinate and handle such interstate or international transfers. This process can involve various logistics, including adherence to different state/country laws and regulations, coordination with airlines if the body is to be flown, and ensuring the appropriate container or casket is used for transportation.
Proper Documentation and Compliance:
Transporting a deceased body, especially across state lines or internationally, requires various permits and documentation. Deceased body transportation services ensure that all necessary paperwork, such as death certificates, burial/transit permits, and embalming reports, is in order. They also ensure compliance with local, state, national, and international regulations related to the transport of human remains.
