International Cremated Remains Shipping Services
Whether you need to send ashes overseas or bring them back to the United States, our team handles the entire journey. Every destination country has different rules for urn materials, sealing methods and documentation. The Cremation Association of North America highlights how international shipping complexity and embassy requirements for cremated remains often involve multiple permits and inspections.
Our breadth of experience means we know what's required to ship cremated remains internationally. We gather the correct documentation for international ashes shipments and ensure compliance with all federal and international regulations.
Professional Transport for Ashes and Cremation Services
While we ship cremated remains, we also assist in cremation services for families who need both. This dual capability means you work with one trusted team from start to finish. If you choose us for cremation, the transition to shipping is seamless.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING OF CREMATED remains
Rules and regulations and country embassy documents required for shipping cremated ashes can add stress during this difficult time. Shipping cremated remains with International Remains Shipping, Inc. is a safe, affordable, and stress-free way to send the ashes to other family members.
Why Families Trust Us to Send Ashes Overseas
Families choose us because we combine expertise with empathy. Transparency is central to how we work — there are no hidden fees or surprise regulations. If embassy processing takes longer than expected, we will keep you informed every step of the way. Our client testimonials reflect what matters most — patience, compassion and professionalism.
How Our Shipping Process Works for Families
Our process is designed to be simple, transparent and supportive:
Consultation
A dedicated coordinator learns your needs and explains country-specific requirements.
Documentation
We gather and legalize death certifications, cremation certificates and consular permits on your behalf.
Secure transport
We book direct flights and ensure the urn meets TSA compliance standards. Containers must be X-ray scannable, such as wood, plastic or non-lead ceramic, to pass screening. According to the TSA, officers will not open containers under any circumstances.
Global Logistics Management
We monitor the flight and coordinate the final handover to you or a funeral home.

Jim Ferris2025-12-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. International Remains Shipping was a godsend. It would have taken me days to navigate the bureaucracy if I could have at all. Madison was great. She walked me through the process and was responsive to my questions. Although I doubt I'll ever have the need to use them again, if it does arise, they'll be my first call. Highly recommend. Bill Cluver2025-12-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My mom passed away in the Dominican Republic and I was fortunate enough to come across IRS to help repatriate her back to the US for burial. I had no idea what to do. In the most troubling of times they assured me that they would handle everything. And, they did! After our initial call I didn’t need to worry about anything. We had the good fortune to work with Christina and Annette. Their professionalism and empathy along with that of their providers both in the DR and in the US, were top tier. If you find yourself in the unfortunate need of this type of service, don’t hesitate to call them or search elsewhere. They made the most troubling of times so much easier in every regard.
