The Morge does all the arrangements when you call them usually they'll be sent for a autopsy and then send her to the morge were all the barrial arrangements will take place and I'm sorry god bless y'all.

Last year when my father passed away in Florida, I wanted him to be buried at the family plot in the cemetery in New Jersey, near all the other relatives. I just contacted the local funeral director. You see, almost all of the funeral homes are owned by the a handful of big corporations, so the funeral directors have an affiliated funeral home in just about every city.

The funeral director made all the shipping arrangements. The remains were shipped as air freight.

It just so happened my family traveled on the same jetBlue flight from Ft. Myers to New York as my father's remains, but that was a random coincidence, since we made travel arrangement in the last minute. We only found out about it just before the funeral, when I saw the shipping paper with the airline and the flight number on it.

Yes. The remains will be placed in a sealed (wooden) box or casket thru either by plane or ship. Freight/cargo.

Usually in the cargo compartment if the coffin fits

Why not? There is Cargo sections and even cargo planes.

as freight in caskets
