From Inverness to every corner of Citrus County, families rely on Legacy to bring a loved one home, to another state or to any country in the world.
Citrus County is retirement country on the Nature Coast, with many residents who kept family and a cemetery plot in another state. Ground transport to Tampa is straightforward, and we handle the transit permits that out-of-state burial requires.
Families we serve from Citrus County most often ask about Canada, Germany and United Kingdom. Whichever the destination, consular requirements are confirmed before a flight is booked, and the shipment departs Tampa International (TPA).
The three services we provide statewide, as they apply in Citrus County. Every price is confirmed in writing before anything is authorized.
Starting at $5,995
Consular legalization, preparation, a sealing casket and airline booking, departing Tampa International (TPA) for the destination country.
Starting at $1,990
Removal in Citrus County, burial transit permits, and air or dedicated ground transport to the funeral home you choose.
We work in your name on the removal, the permits and the consular file, and return the file complete. Your name stays on the arrangement.
Under hospice care: call your hospice nurse first, then call us, and tell the nurse your loved one is entrusted to Legacy. We coordinate directly with the hospices serving Citrus County.
Not under hospice care: call 911 before calling us. Once officials give their release, we take your loved one into our care.
At a hospital or nursing facility: call us and name Legacy as your funeral establishment. The facility handles the rest with us directly.
Yes. Citrus County is inside our regular Florida service area, including Inverness, Crystal River, Homosassa and Lecanto. Transport is dispatched to the place of death anywhere in the county, and the phone is answered 24 hours a day at (239) 207-0390.
No. Authorizations are signed electronically and every arrangement can be made by telephone and email, whichever state or country you are calling from. Most of the families we serve in Citrus County are calling from somewhere else entirely.
For Citrus County we normally depart Tampa International (TPA). If another Florida airport gets your loved one home sooner or at lower cost, we will tell you and use that one instead.
Most shipments leaving Citrus County depart within three to seven days of the first call. The variable is the destination consulate and how quickly the county issues the death certificate, not the flight itself.
Shipping to another state starts at $1,990, and international shipping at $5,995 with the sealing casket included. Airfare is separate and billed at cost with no mark-up. Families in Inverness and across Citrus County receive a written price before anything is authorized, and nothing is added afterward.
A member of our staff, not an answering service. Whether you are calling from Inverness or from another country, a licensed funeral director picks up. Deaths do not keep business hours and neither do we.
A licensed funeral director will call you back. For an immediate need, calling is faster and someone will answer.
