Introduction

The funeral industry has evolved in many ways over the years—technology, family expectations, and logistics have all shifted. One of the biggest changes? The increasing role of professional mortuary transport companies.

In the past, funeral homes handled every aspect of a loved one’s care, including removals and transportation. Today, many rely on trusted transport partners like Allen Mortuary Services to ensure timely, respectful, and professional body removal—24 hours a day.

So, what does a mortuary transport company actually do? And why are more funeral homes, coroners, and hospitals choosing to outsource this critical part of the process? Let’s break it down.

What Is a Mortuary Transport Company?

A mortuary transport company specializes in the safe and dignified transportation of deceased individuals from one location to another. That may include:

• Hospital to funeral home
• Nursing home to county coroner
• Scene removals for coroner’s offices
• Long-distance or out-of-state transfers
• Crematory deliveries
• Airport to funeral home coordination

At Allen Mortuary Services, we operate 24/7 to ensure that every call is answered promptly, no matter the hour. Our trained removal technicians handle each case with professionalism, compassion, and care.

Why Funeral Homes Partner with Transport Providers

Modern funeral homes are busier than ever. Between arranging services, supporting grieving families, and managing logistics, directors often find themselves stretched thin. That’s where mortuary transport companies provide value.

1. Staff Efficiency

Rather than pulling a director or embalmer off the floor, funeral homes can rely on trained transport teams to handle removals—day or night.

2. Faster Response Times

With dedicated transport coverage, decedents can be picked up more quickly, improving service timelines for families and hospitals.

3. Reduced Liability

A reputable company like Allen Mortuary Services carries the proper insurance, training, and equipment—reducing risk for the funeral home.

4. Professional Image

We represent your brand while transporting on your behalf. Clean vehicles, uniforms, and courteous technicians reflect positively on your funeral home.
