What is different about Suwannee County

Suwannee County is farm country where I-10 and US 129 cross, which makes Live Oak reachable quickly despite being rural. Jacksonville and Tallahassee are both about ninety minutes out.

Families we serve from Suwannee County most often ask about Mexico and Germany. Whichever the destination, consular requirements are confirmed before a flight is booked, and the shipment departs Jacksonville International (JAX).

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you serve my area?

Yes. Suwannee County is inside our regular Florida service area, including Live Oak and Branford. 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 Suwannee County are calling from somewhere else entirely.

Which airport do you fly from?

For Suwannee County we normally depart Jacksonville International (JAX). 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 Suwannee 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 Live Oak and across Suwannee 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 Live Oak or from another country, a licensed funeral director picks up. Deaths do not keep business hours and neither do we.
