Understanding the service
What this arrangement can include.
Horizon can coordinate pickup and transfer into our care from any U.S. state. Transportation between states or countries requires coordinated documentation, preparation, airline or ground-carrier arrangements, and communication with a local or receiving funeral home. International cases may also involve a consulate, translated records, destination permits, and specific container or preparation standards.
Horizon serves as the New York coordinating funeral home. We track the required steps, communicate with the receiving director and transportation providers, and keep the family informed about documents, estimated timing, and changes. Requirements vary by destination and are confirmed for each individual case.
Exact authorizations, timing, provider requirements, and outside charges are confirmed for each arrangement by the funeral director.
