There may be other charges moving the body across state lines. My grandfather was moved from Illinois to Iowa for burial several years ago. We had to use a 2nd funeral service in Iowa and the body was transferred near the state line.....Not sure about the States that may be involved in your situation......
I hope the process goes smoothly for the family......
Tons.
Best would be cremation then a service.
If you can't feel the music; it's only pink noise!
I know the Funeral home wanted $16,000 (if I remember correctly) to store my Dad's body until it could be interred at Arlington 6-8 month wait. (WTH?)
He is buried at the VA in Johnson City,TN.
That still irritates the Hell out of me. My Dad, (WWII, Korea, Vietnam) earned that right.
When my step mother Passed away here in Florida my father had to pay for a first class seat to have her body flown back to NY in her casket in the luggage hold. That was the charge 20 years ago. Who knows what it is now.
When the time came dad said the policy didn't even cover the cost of shipping her body from where she died to where she was to be buried.
