When Death Occurs Away From Home
The first step would be contacting Boxwell Brothers Funeral Directors at (806) 355-8156. We can advise you on next steps.
Death Inside The United States
When the death occurs within the United States, the family has the option to transport the body back to the home state or town. This usually requires the use of a mortuary service or other funeral home to provide a part of the services. Boxwell Brothers will source the assisting funeral home. The funeral home or mortuary service at the location of death will collect and prepare the body for transport and Bowell Brothers will receive the body and conduct any services the family would like to hold.
Death Outside The United States
When a death occurs outside of the United States, the family can have the body returned. The preparation and shipment will be done according to the laws and customs of the country where the death occurred. Embalming isn’t widely practiced in other countries, however there are other methods to prepare the body for shipment. The family will also have the option to bury the deceased in the country where the death occurred or have the remains cremated and returned to the United States through the mail or air services with the family.
