International Shipping

The sending or receiving of a deceased person internationally is a highly regulated funeral activity. Since 1927, Rocco-Carr-Henderson Funeral Homes have helped families send or receive their loved ones from numerous countries. Our funeral home works  closely with the Consulate office of each country which regulates a decedent‘s entrance or departure from it.  In addition we coordinate all travel arrangements,  plan with foreign funeral directors and secure all death certificates and legal permits.

• Massachusetts Licensed Funeral Director on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year
• Removal from place of death or medical examiner’s office
• Preparing all documents required by receiving country
• Sealer metal casket
• TSA Approved shipping container
• Transportation of your loved one to local international airport

Due to the varied legal requirements of each country international shipping can take several business days. Funeral costs vary as a result depending on the legal requirements of said country. We will will be happy to discuss a burial estimate once those specific wishes are known .
