I had the honor of arranging local services for a gentleman who is to buried at West Point. The funeral home took care of finding a funeral home near WP to ship the body to. The funeral home also took care of arranging the flight, etc. and coordinated with the funeral home there for pick-up. Unfortunately, Covid has delayed the final burial.

It is expensive, but doable. The individual who said to have a POD account is correct in how the funeral expenses can be more easily handled.
