Families in Perry and Steinhatchee call Legacy for local transport throughout Taylor County and the return of a loved one home, wherever home is.
Taylor County is timber and Gulf coast, with Perry as its only town of size and a long stretch of empty road in every direction. Statewide service means that distance changes our logistics, not your options.
Families we serve from Taylor County most often ask about Mexico and Germany. Whichever the destination, consular requirements are confirmed before a flight is booked, and the shipment departs Tallahassee International (TLH).
The three services we provide statewide, as they apply in Taylor County. Every price is confirmed in writing before anything is authorized.

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 Taylor 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.

For Taylor County we normally depart Tallahassee International (TLH). 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 Taylor 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.

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