Frequently Asked Questions
Can you handle shipping a loved one from Long Island to another state or another country, and what does that process include?
Yes. Fabrizio Funeral Homes can coordinate the full process, including transportation from the place of death to the funeral home, required paperwork and permits, preparation and sheltering, coordinating with the receiving funeral home, and arranging air cargo or ground transport depending on distance and destination requirements. Fabrizio Funeral Chapels can manage these steps for families on Long Island and serve as the main point of contact so you are not juggling airlines, consulates, and multiple providers yourself.
How long does funeral shipping take, and what factors can delay the timeline?
Timelines vary, but shipping can often be arranged within a few days, depending on the destination and documentation. Delays can come from obtaining certified documents, medical examiner involvement, airline cargo scheduling, weather, weekend or holiday closures, and international requirements like consular paperwork or special permits. Fabrizio Funeral Chapels can walk you through the expected timeline upfront, flag potential delays early, and coordinate everything as efficiently as possible.
What does funeral shipping cost, and what items are typically included versus billed separately?
Costs depend on distance, airline or transport fees, destination rules, and the level of preparation required. Typically, you may see separate charges for the funeral home’s professional services, preparation and care, a shipping approved container or casket, airport transfer and airline cargo fees, documentation and permits, and any consular or translation fees for international cases. Fabrizio Funeral Chapels can guide you through the entire process and provide an itemized breakdown so you can see exactly what is included, what is optional, and what is being passed through as third-party costs.
