Rent a coffin, or have a crate built. I used Lynden, from Ahhhhnold to Maui, and it arrived just fine.

I would go with Yellow Freight and save about $300. It will take a few days but it will save some serious coin.

i did a quick little quote with yellow freight online and it was around 350. i also did fedex freight which is what john sprague said he uses for shipping the shens and they were at 320. so far it looks like i'll be using fedex freight.

You need to find someone who has a Yellow account. They can "get r done" for about $200.
