Scope

Local,​ regional,​ national​ or​ international.

Outside the United States, we coordinate wherever your family needs it: in the same city where the death occurred, between cities in a region, across a country, or between countries. At every level, licensed or authorized providers in that place perform the services.

  1. 1

    Local · In the same city

    A wake, funeral service, cremation or burial in the city where the death occurred, with local providers.

  2. 2

    Regional · Between nearby cities

    When your loved one died in one city and the family wishes to say goodbye in another city of the same region. The applicable providers perform the local transfer.

  3. 3

    National · Across the country

    Services and transfers between states, provinces or departments of the same country, with the providers responsible for each part.

  4. 4

    International · Between countries

    When the farewell takes place in another country. For the transfer between countries, see International Repatriation Coordination. International Repatriation Coordination

Is this available before a death occurs?

No. International Funeral Service Coordination is for families after a death has occurred. To plan ahead for a loved one in Latin America or Spain, see the LATAM + Spain Coordination Membership — a separate product.

Who sets the prices of the services?

Each provider sets the price of its own services. We present those costs in your Eternimax quote, separately from our coordination fee, so your family can decide what to authorize with clear information.

Will I have to talk to every provider myself?

No. Eternimax is your family's coordination point: we relay information between you and the providers, follow up on progress and keep you informed.
