What to Do When Your Loved One Wants to be Transported to Their Home Country

At Dynasty Memorial Mortuary Funeral Home, we’ve? Our answer is a definitive yes. We have extensive experience working with foreign embassies and other agencies to ensure your family member arrives in their hometown as quickly and economically as possible.

Maybe your uncle was born in Mexico and wants his final resting place alongside his beloved Abuela. Or maybe your mother, who moved to Houston a few years ago, can’t imagine being buried anywhere but Venezuela, where she grew up. Perhaps you came here as a child, but your heart has always been in your birthplace. Whatever the case, whatever country or state is home for you or your family, our professional staff can help you arrange this process most conveniently and affordably.

While many hope to be buried in their native land, it’s understandable that few know how to make that happen in the safest, quickest, and most affordable way. And not every funeral home does either. This is where our team comes in. We coordinate the process on your behalf and provide safe, dignified transportation. This allows you to focus on your family and your grief process rather than getting caught up in the numerous details that are involved.

If it is your wish to be laid to rest someplace other than Houston, you want to put that in writing through preplanning with us. Not only will this put you in control of every detail, but it will also remove the stress of decision-making from your loved ones. If you choose to pre-pay, it also spares them the expense of bringing you home. We simplify the preplanning process; you can even preplan online from the comfort of your home. Or, if you’d prefer, come in and meet with us. We’ve helped countless people get their wishes in order and can walk you through each step.

Plus, with Dynasty Memorial Mortuary Funeral Home, you can have peace of mind knowing our family is caring for yours. That level of trust comes with choosing a funeral home owned and operated by family. Dynasty Memorial Mortuary Funeral Home has been a part of our family since Dynasty opened its doors in 2021. Helping members of our Houston community when they need it most means everything to us. It’s so much more than a job; funeral care is our calling. We do everything possible to offer personal service, making ourselves available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Unlike corporate-owned funeral homes, we have the flexibility to do what it takes to meet your individual needs.

Also, since we are an active part of the community, we understand the values, traditions, faiths, and cultures that make Houston a wonderfully diverse place to live. You can have confidence that we’ll “get it right” when meeting your needs. We help people find peace, renewal, and unity through traditional funerals, burials, cremations, and personal details that make a real difference.

The world gets smaller every day. No one understands this more than those of us who live in the incredibly diverse area of Houston, Texas, with people living and visiting from every corner of the globe. More people are traveling and spending more extended periods away from home. People also retire earlier and often pursue leisure in communities far from where they were born – and far from other family members. Other people travel for work. It all means the chances of dying away from home are greater now than ever before.

The families of those who die unexpectedly in a faraway place need exceptional help and consideration as it creates more challenges than a death in a hometown. If this happens to someone you love, you need to know you can trust the expertise and knowledge of the funeral home you choose to ease your burden and minimize costs.

At Dynasty Memorial Mortuary Funeral Home, we maintain relationships with other funeral professionals around the country – and even overseas – so we can assist you if this situation occurs. When people die outside the United States, there are several situations to consider, especially given the current conditions in the world. This requires working closely with the U.S. Embassy, the State Department, and other government agencies. When a person dies while serving in the military, the government provides many special services. We are experienced in arranging for these benefits and ensuring they are received.

In sporadic cases, a death occurs away from home as the result of an accident or disaster. When law enforcement authorities, medical examiners, or coroners become involved, we help coordinate all the details and documentation for the return and burial of the deceased.

Of course, not everyone travels extensively. But many who have lived in another community for years have a desire to be or to be buried with other family members. In addition, to travel arrangements, those who have made another community their home often need two types of services: one for their friends in their current community and one for family and friends at the burial place. This might seem like a lot to manage, but when you choose Dynasty Memorial Mortuary Funeral Home, we will make it seamless.

Regardless of how or why death away from home occurs, it almost always creates its own set of problems. But Dynasty Memorial Mortuary Funeral Home has the expertise to lighten your burden under these especially trying conditions.

The most important thing you can do is to make your funeral plans and preparations in advance. When you preplan your funeral, your family will not have to guess what you would have wanted or make difficult decisions during a time of sorrow. Having your plans set is especially important if you think there is any possibility your death could occur unexpectedly away from home. We always encourage our clients to discuss these choices with their family, and we welcome your questions about arrangements and cost.

Families are always faced with many difficult emotions and decisions when a death occurs. When it happens away from home, the challenges are even more unusual and complex. Be sure your choice of funeral home brings you and your family peace of mind.
