Answers to Common Questions

How do you transport a loved one across state lines?

Transporting a deceased individual across state lines requires coordination with state vital records offices, funeral directors at both ends, and often a transit permit. Allen Mortuary Services handles all paperwork, permits, and scheduling to make this as smooth as possible for families. We operate specialized vehicles and have experience working with county coroners and state officials to ensure compliance and respect.

What is involved in mortuary transport?

Mortuary transport involves the respectful removal and transportation of a decedent from the place of passing to a funeral home, coroner’s office, or final destination. This includes body bagging or disaster pouch use, stretchers or cot straps, and a trained team of transport professionals. Our services also cover airport transfers, inter-facility moves, and storage delivery when needed.

How long does body shipping take?

Timing depends on distance and destination. Local transports are usually completed within hours. Interstate transfers typically take 1–2 days depending on permits and scheduling. For air shipping, flights can usually be booked within 24–48 hours, but international destinations may take longer due to customs and documentation. Our team will walk you through the expected timeline and keep you informed throughout the process.
