What Is Mortuary Transport and When Is It Needed?

When a loved one passes away, there are many difficult decisions to make—one of the most immediate being how to safely and respectfully transport the deceased. That’s where mortuary transport services come in. At Allen Mortuary Services, we provide professional, compassionate, and 24/7 deceased transport for funeral homes, medical examiners, hospices, nursing homes, and families in need.

What Is Mortuary Transport?

Mortuary transport is the professional relocation of a deceased individual from one location to another. This may include:

• Initial removal from a home, hospital, hospice, or accident scene
• Transport to a funeral home, crematory, or medical examiner
• Long-distance or interstate transport

Our transport team uses specialized vehicles and equipment to ensure safety, dignity, and legal compliance during the process.

When Is Mortuary Transport Needed?

There are many circumstances that require expert mortuary transport services, including:

1. At-Home Deaths

If a loved one passes away at home—whether expected under hospice care or unexpected—families need to call a licensed mortuary transport service like Allen Mortuary to safely handle the removal.

2. Hospital or Hospice Transfers

Facilities often rely on transport professionals to move decedents to the funeral home or crematory chosen by the family.

3. Nursing Home Deaths

Nursing homes typically contact a transport service on behalf of the family, but families can also request a specific provider.

4. Medical Examiner or Coroner Transfers

If a death is under investigation, we coordinate with local authorities to provide timely transport from or to the medical examiner’s office.

5. Funeral Home-to-Funeral Home Transfers

Sometimes families relocate or change funeral homes. We assist in respectful, seamless transitions between facilities.

6. Airport or Long-Distance Transport

For cross-state or international transport, our team can help with logistics and coordination with airlines or out-of-state providers.
