I really want to see a breakdown of the $60k charges.
We flew my aunt back from Florida to Michigan and it cost around $6k, airline was I think around $4k of it and hearse drives to and from the remainder.
The prices just don’t add up to reality, if this was the case then no one would be doing it.
(had my father found out we spent that kind of money to get his body to a burial, the casket lid would have popped off and he would have kicked our butts for spending what he left us for that.)
A veterans group had the remains flown from CA to VA via a private jet. I don't know if they flew the family on the jet also, but I guess if you chartered a private jet solely for transfer of remains, it would be pretty expensive.
