WHO WE ARE

Built on Care, Driven by Precision.

Meri Global Shipping gives families, funeral homes and shippers one accountable partner for international cargo. Every air and ocean movement from the United States is planned with clear communication and careful documentation.

Our founder, Demeke Meri, brings more than 30 years of executive experience in international cargo shipping. His career spans sales leadership for multiple air and ocean carriers, distinguished by award-winning performance and enduring industry relationships. He brings a commercial leader’s perspective to freight: understand the requirements, establish accountability, and earn confidence through execution. At Meri Global Shipping, that experience serves a deeply personal specialty: transporting human remains from the United States to destinations worldwide. Working with leading funeral homes and air carriers, Demeke approaches repatriation with grace, compassion, and operational discipline. He understands the importance of documentation, airline acceptance, and carefully coordinated transfers. He also recognizes the families behind those arrangements, for whom thoughtful communication matters as much as logistical precision. His record of sales performance is complemented by community leadership and a commitment to relationships beyond the shipment itself. Across commercial freight and human remains transport, his approach connects executive judgment with personal responsibility. W

DIGNITY IN HANDLING. DISCIPLINE IN SHIPPING.

Our Standards Across Every Border

We combine respectful human remains coordination with the operational discipline of international freight: clear instructions, organized documents, and defined receiving arrangements.

We approach human remains transport with dignity and discretion. We listen to families and coordinate with funeral professionals to clarify shipment needs and receiving arrangements.

Dignified Human Remains Transport

We clarify responsibilities across the shipping process. From origin arrangements to destination handoffs, we communicate outstanding requirements and the next steps for each party.

Accountable Shipment Coordination

We organize shipment information around carrier acceptance and destination requirements. We help identify documentation needs before cargo is tendered for international transportation.

Documentation and Acceptance

We plan around cargo dimensions, handling needs, destination, and timing. We discuss air or ocean options according to the shipment and available carrier services.

Cargo-Specific Routing

We understand that repatriation involves more than a cargo booking. Families need clear guidance, and funeral professionals need precise instructions for preparation, documentation, and transfer. We coordinate US-origin human remains shipments around the destination's requirements and the accepting carrier's conditions. We help identify required death certificates, permits, consular documentation, and receiving-party details for the route. Requirements vary by country, the condition of the remains, and the purpose of transport. We explain outstanding steps in plain language and approach each handoff with discretion. Our focus is a carefully coordinated journey and respectful communication with those awaiting arrival.

Dignity From Departure to Arrival

We coordinate between shippers, transportation providers, and receiving parties so each shipment starts with clear instructions. For air freight, we address routing, air waybill information, carrier acceptance, and applicable cargo security requirements. Where an indirect air carrier is involved, we coordinate shipment information and acceptance requirements with the responsible parties. For ocean freight, we align cargo details, booking instructions, and bill of lading information with the selected service. For human remains, we distinguish destination entry requirements from US import rules. We clarify documentation and receiving arrangements for the specific route rather than assume one country's requirements apply worldwide.
