How many escorts accompany the remains if the shipping facility and final destination are not the same?

When the shipping facility and the final destination of the remains are different locations, one escort is typically assigned to accompany the remains during transport. This is important to ensure that the remains are cared for properly, and that they are transported in accordance with established protocols. The presence of an escort helps in maintaining the dignity and respect for the deceased throughout the journey, as well as ensuring that the remains are handled appropriately and arrive safely at the final destination.

In contrast, options indicating a higher number of escorts would not be necessary unless specific circumstances warrant additional personnel. For example, having no escort or zero escorts would not provide the oversight required for the respectful handling of remains during transportation. Therefore, one escort serves as an adequate and respectful means of ensuring that all procedures are followed when the transport and final destination differ.
