Testimonials
What families have to say of their experiences with us?
At 3 AM, they arrived with a freezer van, embalmed, and managed every clearance in less than 12 hours for our family member’s dead body transport USA to India. My brother was flown from USA to Kolkata in a very dignified manner to our home in India.
“They took over everything: hospital to embassy, embassy to airline, and cleared the coffin through Delhi customs for a repatriation to Canada. Deeply grateful.”
