Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is international funeral shipping?

    International funeral shipping is the process of transporting a deceased loved one from one country to another for burial or cremation. The process involves much more than airline transportation. It typically includes obtaining certified death certificates, coordinating with hospitals or medical examiners, preparing the deceased according to international regulations, securing required permits, completing embassy or consulate documentation, arranging airline cargo transportation, and coordinating with a receiving funeral home in the destination country.


    At Las Rosas Bannworth Funeral Home and Scarpa Las Rosas Funeral Home, we manage every aspect of this process so families throughout New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania have a single point of contact from beginning to end.

  • What is international repatriation?

    International repatriation is the return of a deceased loved one to their country of origin for funeral services, burial, or cremation.

    Our experienced team coordinates international repatriation with compassion and professionalism while guiding families through every step of the process.

    Every case is different, but many international repatriations can be completed within approximately 10 business days from your first call.


    The timeline depends on several factors, including:


    • Destination-country documentation requirements
    • Embassy or consulate approvals
    • Airline cargo availability
    • Customs processing
    • Holidays and government office hours

    Our team works proactively to avoid unnecessary delays and keeps your family informed throughout the process.

    The cost of international funeral shipping varies depending on the destination country, airline charges, required documentation, preparation services, casket or Air Tray requirements, translation services, and government fees.


    Because every situation is unique, we provide a personalized estimate based on your family's needs and explain all anticipated costs before moving forward whenever possible.

Conveniently located near Newark Liberty International Airport, we proudly assist families throughout New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania with returning loved ones home safely and respectfully.

    Every country has different documentation and customs requirements for transporting ashes. Our team coordinates the necessary paperwork, airline requirements, and destination-country regulations to help ensure your loved one's cremated remains arrive safely and respectfully.

  • Can you repatriate cremated remains instead of a casket?

    Absolutely.


    In many cases, transporting cremated remains involves fewer logistical requirements than transporting a casketed loved one. However, international regulations still vary by country.


    We help families understand the documentation required and coordinate transportation from beginning to end.

  • What countries do you serve?

    Las Rosas coordinates international funeral shipping and repatriation to destinations throughout Latin America, Europe, the Caribbean, Asia, Africa, and beyond.

  • Why is Newark Liberty International Airport an advantage?

    Our location near Newark Liberty International Airport allows us to coordinate international airline transportation efficiently.


    Because Newark serves as a major international gateway, it offers extensive cargo connections to destinations around the world. Combined with our experience coordinating international repatriation, this helps streamline the transportation process whenever possible.

  • Do I need a receiving funeral home?

    Usually, yes.


    A receiving funeral home is responsible for receiving your loved one upon arrival, coordinating local transportation, assisting with customs clearance where required, and arranging funeral or cemetery services in the destination country.


    If your family has not yet selected a funeral home overseas, we can often recommend trusted partners within our international network.

  • Can you work directly with my country's embassy or consulate?

    Yes. Coordinating with embassies and consulates is an important part of many international repatriation cases. Depending on the destination country, additional permits, legalization of documents, or consular approvals may be required before transportation can occur.


    Our team communicates directly with the appropriate embassy or consulate whenever necessary and prepares the required documentation on your behalf. Because every country has different requirements, we guide your family through the specific process for your loved one's destination.

  • What is an Apostille, and will I need one?

    An Apostille is an official certification that verifies certain public documents for use in another country. Some countries require Apostilles for death certificates or other legal documents before they will authorize international transportation.


    Whether an Apostille is required depends on the destination country. Our experienced team will determine if one is needed and coordinate the process as part of your international funeral shipping arrangements.

  • What is an Air Tray or Ziegler Case?

    An Air Tray (sometimes referred to as an Air Tray shipping container) is a protective outer shipping container used by many airlines for international transportation. Some destination countries or airlines may instead require a Ziegler Case, which is a hermetically sealed metal liner placed inside the casket.


    The specific requirements depend on the destination country and airline. Our team will determine what is required and coordinate everything on your behalf.


  • Can you help if we don't already have a funeral home overseas?

    Absolutely.


    If your family has not yet selected a receiving funeral home, we can often recommend trusted providers within our international network.


    We communicate directly with the receiving funeral home to coordinate arrival, customs requirements, local transportation, and final funeral or cemetery arrangements.

  • Will I receive updates throughout the process?

    Yes.


    We understand that waiting for updates during international repatriation can be stressful. That's why we believe communication is one of the most important services we provide.


    Your dedicated funeral director will keep you informed as major milestones are completed, including documentation, embassy approvals (when applicable), airline scheduling, departure, and confirmation of arrival.
