Domestic & International Ship-Outs
Bringing Your Loved One Home
The Guiding Light Cremation Services provides both domestic and international ship-out services, so that a loved one can be brought to the place where family will gather to say goodbye — whether that is across the country or across the world.
Domestic Ship-Outs
We coordinate the transportation of your loved one to another funeral home or destination anywhere within the United States. Our team manages the preparation, documentation, and airline or ground transportation arrangements, and works directly with the receiving funeral home so that every step is accounted for and nothing falls to the family to chase down.
International Ship-Outs
Sending a loved one abroad involves requirements that differ from country to country. Our team assists families with the full scope of that process, including:
- Coordination of all transportation arrangements
- Preparation of your loved one in accordance with destination requirements
- Documentation, certificates, and consular paperwork
- Permits and authorizations
- Airline requirements and scheduling
- Direct communication with the receiving funeral home
Please contact us directly and we will walk you through current pricing and the specific requirements for your destination. There is no obligation, and we are glad to answer questions at any stage — including before a death has occurred, if you are planning ahead.
