What is different about St. Lucie County

Fort Pierce has a long-established Haitian and Caribbean community, and Port St. Lucie has grown quickly with families from the Northeast. Those are two different journeys home, and we handle both from Palm Beach International.

Families we serve from St. Lucie County most often ask about Haiti, Jamaica and Mexico. Whichever the destination, consular requirements are confirmed before a flight is booked, and the shipment departs Palm Beach International (PBI).

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you serve my area?

Yes. St. Lucie County is inside our regular Florida service area, including Port St. Lucie, Fort Pierce and Tradition. 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 St. Lucie County are calling from somewhere else entirely.

Which airport do you fly from?

For St. Lucie County we normally depart Palm Beach International (PBI). 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 St. Lucie 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 Fort Pierce and across St. Lucie 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 Fort Pierce or from another country, a licensed funeral director picks up. Deaths do not keep business hours and neither do we.
