Joseph A. Lucchese Funeral Home is here to provide compassionate support and guidance as you make arrangements for your loved one's final journey to Puerto Rico. Our goal is to ensure you have the information and support necessary to make the best decision during this sensitive time.

Shipping to Puerto Rico

We understand that international remains transport can be challenging. To assist you in this process, we offer three options:

  1. Funeral home visit with mass: This option allows for a visitation at our funeral home from 4 p.m. until 8 p.m., followed by a funeral mass at a local church the next morning. This package includes everything your family would need for a meaningful farewell, such as the removal from the place of death and all necessary preparations, arrangements and supervision. This option also includes pallbearers and transportation to the church and airport. Together, we can create a meaningful tribute that reflects the life and legacy of your loved one. The total cost for this service is $11,210.
  2. Funeral home visit without mass: Our second choice offers a similar visitation at the funeral home from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. but does not include the funeral mass. It includes all the same services as the first option, with the exception of the hearse to the church and the clergy fees. The total for this service is $9,620.
  3. Direct shipping only: Our third option does not include visitation or church services. This package is for direct shipping only. It includes all the services of our other two packages above, excluding the use of facilities for visitation and the supervision for visitation. The total is $8,945.

Each option covers the following:

  • The airtray as required by the airline
  • Prayer cards and a register book for visiting
  • NYC death certificates and permit fees

Support for Your Family's Needs

For families who choose a service with visitation, we understand that not everyone may be able to attend in person. To accommodate this, we offer virtual visitation at no additional charge. This allows family and friends who are unable to attend physically to log into a Zoom meeting and participate from the comfort of their own homes. This option ensures everyone can share in the remembrance and support each other, even if they cannot be there in person.

We also offer the opportunity to create a memorial webpage on our website free of charge. A webpage serves as a beautiful tribute to your loved one and a way for friends and family to share memories. These services can help bring comfort and connection to families during a time of loss.

To further personalize the day, we can create a photo slideshow that will play in the room during visiting hours. A slideshow is a heartfelt way to celebrate the life of your loved one. You will receive a Dropbox link to upload your selected photos, and we will take care of the production, ensuring that the memories are beautifully presented for all to enjoy.
