SHIPPING & TRANSFERS
Shipping/Transfer
Houston is home to families from many other nations and states, and the Texas Medical Center hosts patients from all parts of the world and across the nation.
Should a love one pass away in Houston, Integrity Funeral Care has the knowledge, experience, and expertise to ensure him or her a safe journey home.
We work around the clock to make the process as smooth and expedient as possible. Our team efficiently secures all necessary legal documentation required for the transfer, and we keep in constant contact with the airline, the receiving funeral home, and the consulate or embassy until your loved one arrives safely home.
When it is economical to do so, we offer ground transportation, where a member of our team personally escorts your loved one to the receiving funeral home.
