What is different about Seminole County

Seminole County's suburbs north of Orlando have drawn professional families from Latin America and South Asia, and Sanford's own airport handles a good deal of traffic. For international routes we use Orlando International, twenty-five minutes south.

Families we serve from Seminole County most often ask about Puerto Rico, Venezuela and Colombia. Whichever the destination, consular requirements are confirmed before a flight is booked, and the shipment departs Orlando International (MCO).

    At a hospital or nursing facility: call us and name Legacy as your funeral establishment. The facility handles the rest with us directly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you serve my area?

Yes. Seminole County is inside our regular Florida service area, including Sanford, Altamonte Springs, Oviedo, Lake Mary and Casselberry. 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.

Do I have to travel to Florida?

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 Seminole County are calling from somewhere else entirely.

Which airport do you fly from?

For Seminole County we normally depart Orlando International (MCO). If another Florida airport gets your loved one home sooner or at lower cost, we will tell you and use that one instead.

How long does an international shipment take?

Most shipments leaving Seminole 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.

What does it cost?

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 Sanford and across Seminole County receive a written price before anything is authorized, and nothing is added afterward.

Who answers at two in the morning?

A member of our staff, not an answering service. Whether you are calling from Sanford or from another country, a licensed funeral director picks up. Deaths do not keep business hours and neither do we.
