The cost for the casket or required container would be additional.


**Each country has different requirements and may charge consulate fees. Mileage charges may apply for transfers exceeding 25 miles. Airline flight fees not included.

We strongly recommend not scheduling services until the required permits and documents have been completed and a flight has been scheduled.
