When a loved one passes away far from home, or wishes to be laid to rest in their country of origin, Big Apple Funeral Home is here to help. From our funeral home at 323 Avenue U in Brooklyn, we specialize in international funeral shipping and repatriation, managing every detail with care so your family does not have to navigate a complex process alone. We are available 24 hours a day. Call (718) 755-0400.
Shipping a loved one internationally requires careful preparation and extensive documentation. Our funeral directors handle the preparation and embalming of the deceased, the certified death certificates and permits, the consular paperwork required by the destination country, coordination with the airlines, and arrangements with the receiving funeral home abroad. We make sure every requirement is met so your loved one can travel with dignity.
We regularly assist families repatriating loved ones around the world. We are especially experienced in serving Brooklyn’s Russian-speaking families with repatriation to Russia, Ukraine, and the former Soviet Union; our Spanish-speaking families with repatriation across Latin America; and our Jewish families with burial in Israel. Whatever the destination, we are here to help.
International shipping can feel overwhelming, but you are not alone. Our experienced team guides you through every step and keeps you informed throughout. Learn more about all of our funeral shipping services, or call us any time.
We are here for your family 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Call Big Apple Funeral Home at (718) 755-0400.
